PULASKI COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY ft!! ! COUNTY HIGH SCHOOl UFWR 1979 COUGAR PINNACLE Volume 5 Annual Staff Pulaski County High School P.O. Box 518 Dublin, Virginia 24084 ‘I don’t Understand’ Fosters Education; Students, Staff Regroup On August 23rd When students chose “puzzles” as the theme of the 1979 Cougar Pinnacle, a search into various meanings of the word ensued. Variations upon the theme were myriad, and staff members were often perplexed by the possibilities from which they might choose to convey a particular context. Perhaps the theme had its un¬ recognized origin in “I don’t un¬ derstand” — surely one of the most frequently uttered remarks of P.C.H.S. students. “I don’t under¬ stand” was the great puzzle beneath the endless confusion and chaos which underlay the students’ education and their world. In August, everyone became a part of a new puzzle. For some, wandering through the mazes of school getting from class to class everyday was baffling enough; others chose the additional involve¬ ment of activities. Classes, clubs, sports, and outside interests made- up the dimensions of the jigsaw. People formed the pieces. As the puzzle grew, it became increasingly complicated and intricate. Juniors and underclassmen kept busy throughout the year adding pieces to their puzzles. While seniors thought their puzzle was finished, the teachers knew a new one was soon to begin. Intent upon her task of sorting homeroom rolls, Renee Wiley takes refuge under the worktable. 2 Prologue Sixth period science students enjoy a departure from routine when Mrs. Majella Myers tem¬ porarily abandons her tenth grade sub- principal ' s office to substitute for Mr. John Dun¬ can who was away on a photography assign¬ ment.

Science classes pondered the classic “Which came first. . . ?” question and explored the mysteries of the cell, the atom, the ray, and test tube babies. Math stu¬ dents sought to solve unknowns. Initially baffling to vocational stu¬ dents, blueprints, directions, recipes, and step-by-step instruc¬ tions ultimately became logical, in¬ dispensable aides in the process of creating. Music students dis¬ covered the harmony entailed in a maze of notes while art students employed a variety of media to produce beauty from confusion. A rotation of the earth produces never ending ut¬ terances from Herbert Glitch in Physics. Prologue 5 Clubs Offer Alternatives to Confusion, Expanded Patterns, Insights into Logic Nor were puzzles limited to the classroom. A wide variety of clubs and sports enticed P.C.H.S. stu¬ dents. After hours of practice, stu¬ dents found logic within the for¬ merly complicated patterns of play, routines, and strategies with which they were confronted. Clubs presented another alternative to confusion. Some organizations of¬ fered insight into problems in¬ herent to later work environments; others attempted to provide an out¬ let for individual interests and abilities. Sometimes the puzzle is too great and strangles with its grasp. Glenvar mobs Kenny Burnett. (ABOVE) Always shorter than their opponents, P.C. girls fight for victory.

Students “On Their Own” Explore Complex Alternatives in World of Puzzle Pieces Regardless of how much or little P.C.H.S. students involved them¬ selves in class and extra-class ac¬ tivities, part of e very day they were “on their own.” Within the sanctuary of the peer group, they groped for understandings rarely examined elsewhere. Indeed, their lives as students contained the greatest mysteries of all. In a world of chaos and confusion wherein na¬ tions warred and leaders expressed uncertainty, students were often bewildered by the complexity of alternatives. Priorities were dif¬ ficult, seemingly impossible, to es¬ tablish, and students were often hard-pressed to separate the significant from the trivial. In the same day, a student had to decide which test to study for, whom he would ask to the Prom, how much to spend for jeans (or hamburgers), whether to go to school, the military, or work after graduation — and all these alternatives played before a field of rampant inflation, social unrest, and political uncer¬ tainty coupled with the knowledge that one more tardy to third period meant an hour in after school detention. “I don’t understand” became, in effect, the ultimate rid¬ dle, and the puzzles encountered at Pulaski County High School were mere training grounds for the puz¬ zles of life. Pause now, collectyourthoughts, and pick upthe pieces .. . Prologue 9 STUDENTS The Cougar. . . set apart. The student’s life was broken into varying pieces that when placed in the right positions would make the picture puzzle a complete image. The levels of accomplishment throughout the puzzle were grouped by class. As the student matured, the puzzle took on a greater shape and versatility. 10 Students STUDENTS Freshman Class 12 Sophomore Class 32 Junior Class 52 Senior Class 72 Outstanding Seniors 124 Students 11 FRESHMEN The puzzle began ... At first the pieces were scattered and dis¬ organized. Old ways were forgotten as some freshmen carefully explored the possibilities, opportunities and challenges lying ahead while others plunged in head first. Freshmen had a busy and confusing year finding classrooms, making new friends, (and looking for the elevator). As freshmen became more familiar with the pieces, the puzzle began to take shape. Freshmen 13 Like to Buy a Ticket to the Pep Rally? Class of ’82.” The title really did not mean very much until they stepped off the bus on that first day of school in August. They were the largest class ever to come through the doors of P.C.H.S. However the staggering number did not stop the plan of action for the upper¬ classmen. Freshmen often found themselves lost in one of the many pods, in trash cans or on top of lockers as they survived the many pranks of the upperclassmen. There were many futile and suc¬ cessful attempts to stack lockers and sell pep rally or elevator tickets. Freshmen found the school exciting and full of new ex¬ periences as they learned their way around, met new friends and teachers, signed up for everything they could and participated in every pep rally with vibrant enthusiasm.

If you have passed through the a la carte line at lunch time, any of the above may have meant a major lunch time decision. After brown-bagging peanut but¬ ter sandwiches for years or standing in line twice a week for a not so exciting hamburger patty, this was a new and exciting ex¬ perience for ninth graders. With this new choice students could decide whether to eat a nutritious meal or a pie, cake or any other junk food available. This new op¬ portunity really was the decision of Nutrition vs. Desire. There was always plenty from which to choose. On one particular day a student might choose spaghetti or cheese sandwiches, salad, or broccoli. If your money matched your appetite, then there were plenty of choices to fill you. In the end, however, it all came down to a choice between eating something good for you or eating something fattening. A hungry Wendy Urquhart eyes her food as she passes through the a la carte line.

They were both subjects of study for ninth graders taking biology, a sub¬ ject for students who probably would not include any more study of science in their curriculum. Biology 9 covered topics such as Ecology and Zoology in addition to Earth Science. For most, the all time favorite was animal dissection where everyone got a chance to cut, tear or otherwise investigate animal insides. The other science class offered to ninth graders was Earth Science. It gave students the opportunity to get a good look at the earth and its surroundings. Something new for everyone was the growing of crystals. Occasionally, when the With hands as steady as a watch maker ' s, Chris Flint carefully masses objects in Earth Science. weather permitted, “sky-watch” highlighted the period. Hurricanes, tornadoes and constellations were among some of the other topics discussed in Earth Science classes. Some students found archaeology to be an exciting and interesting subject. Their interest was aroused during excavation field trips to Draper Mountain and Dora Highway. Freshmen found many interesting and rewarding ex¬ periences in ninth grade science classes. 18 Freshmen Phillip A. Dillon Sonya M. Dishon Jeffrey F. Dixon Norman W. Dowdy, II William A.

There are many classes a person may elect to better himself for future purposes. The vocational department has many classes that can help a per¬ son obtain a job. Many academic electives are open for people wanting to go into further study. The high school also has a wide variety of sports activities that one may participate in. After thinking about all the opportunities given at P.C.H.S. it makes me very proud of my school.” Lori Alderman Lori Alderman is caught by the cameraman at her locker. William I.

Not really, but a likely scene for students to role play in the Health and Business courses offered to the ninth graders. For one semester of the year, students were involved in health classes where they learned how to type blood, give C.P.R., and study the many fields of medicine. For the remainder of the year students studied the business field. They did everything from taking shorthand to determining budgets. Since handling money is so important throughout life, a great amount of time was spent balancing checkbooks and working on budgets.

Owens Drama and Mythology Provide Diversion After nine weeks of short stories and grammar, mini-units were a relief to most freshmen. The choices were Drama and Mythology. Drama classes studied many forms of plays, the history of drama, how plays were performed and many other important drama facts. Students also received basic instruction in acting which in¬ cluded chanting Greek choruses and pantomiming. Mythology classes studied the gods and their philosophy and American tall tales. Gods from throughout the universe and tall tale heroes provided students with many ideas for their final projects. The advanced studies classes traveled to many area colleges to see several types of plays. Before attending a play, classes read and discussed information concerning the drama. This was made available so the students could become familiar with the produc¬ tion and understand it better before attending a live perfor¬ mance. Through the variety of English classes offered, the freshmen gained a greater ap¬ preciation of the English language. Freshman English students concentrate on finishing their grammar work.

Many freshmen were involved in the language classes offered as part of the school curriculum. They put forth this extra effort to fulfill a personal interest or to further educational goals. Most students found language classes to be fun and challenging as well as rewarding. They not only learned the language but also en¬ joyed songs, games and other cultural values of the country. As the year progressed many ninth graders dreamed of a time when they could visit one of these coun¬ tries.

For example, there is a wider interest span in classes to choose from in the academic field as well as the vocational field. One may choose classes which will help him throughout school. There are also many sports in which you may choose to par¬ ticipate. Overall I feel that this school is a very good experience The Social Studies pod’s Christmas tree seems a good place to work as Susan Miller finishes an assignment. for anyone. There is a wide selec¬ tion of clubs and activities. I enjoy being active in my school and there are many ways to do so. I have made many new friends here and hope to make many more. There are lots of opportuni¬ ties here that were not avail¬ able at the middle school and I am glad to be a student here.” Susan Miller Freshmen 31 SOPHOMORES The puzzle continued. . . The sophomores organized some of the scat¬ tered pieces of the puzzle, added to the picture, and set goals for them¬ selves. For the first time they were able to choose between an academic or vocational future. Biology, drivers’ education, and a variety of English classes challenged the sophomores’ capabilities. Sophomores 33 Minimum Competency Scores Satisfactory “Boy, was that easy!’’ “First graders could pass that!” “My baby sister could even graduate if she had to take those tests!” Remarks like these were heard from the sophomores when the Minimum Competency Tests were completed. Although many students felt that the tests were relatively easy, some found much difficulty in finishing and passing them. The class of ’81 was the first group to take the tests. They were designed to help the students find the areas in which help was needed before graduation. Current regula¬ tions by the state of Virginia re¬ quired students to attain a score of seventy per cent or higher on the tests as well as to accumulate eigh¬ teen credits in order to qualify for a Virginia High School diploma. The two basic elements of the tests were Language Arts and General Mathematics. Each test lasted three hours and students who were not tested in November participated in the tests that were given to ninth graders in April. Of the 533 students who took the tests eighty-seven per cent passed the General Mathematics and eight-two per cent passed the Language Arts. Mrs. Jean Blankenship and Mrs. Ruth Howe coordinated the testing program, giving directions, organizing schedules and presenting students with examples of the questions. Dr. Virgie Keith, coordinator of mathematics for Pulaski County, conducted in¬ dividual sessions for students while the English Department gave a sample or “screening” test for Language Arts. The administrators, central of¬ fice staff and county middle school assistant principals were also pre¬ sent offering help. Since this was the first group required to take the Minimum Competency Tests, the results showed that the sophomores did well on them.

Class Officers Show Leadership Ability In leading the sophomores, the tenth grade officers — Cindy Far¬ mer, president; Sharon Crews, vice- president; Beth Howe, secretary- treasurer; and Kym Davidson, reporter — worked hard on plan¬ ning and fulfilling the class pro¬ jects. Elections w ere held in the spring of 78 so that programs could be well under way in the fall. The officers had no idea how much work was in store for them. Some of the projects became a reality during the week of Homecoming activities. The of¬ ficers, led by Cindy Farmer and Kym Davidson, worked many hours on locker, mini float and showcase decorations and on school spirit. All the work paid off as the tenth grade class won first place in the showcase competition, first place in the class float competition, and first place in the spirit stick com¬ petition for best school involve¬ ment and support. With the prospect of paying for the prom during their junior year, the sophomores began raising money in 78-79. Through the help of Miss Suzanne Steele the tenth grade students, spearheaded by the officers, sponsored a sock hop and sold products to create enough revenue to sponsor the prom in ' 80. Near the end of the year many of them began to realize the respon¬ sibilities that came with being an upper classman. Daniel W. Conner Kathy M. Conner Michael R. Conner Samuel R. Conrad, III Rose A.

Each day the walls and the lockers in the sophomore area were plastered with slogan posters. The tenth grade students par¬ ticipated every day in the “crazy clothes’’ contests sponsored by the Pep Club. Much after school work went on during the Homecoming Week. The class officers remained after 3:05 to decorate the showcase which won first place. Other students stayed to work on signs and decorations to show Cougar spirit. Much work went on in the choir room when the sophomore float was being built. It was a “Cougar Tanker’’ and the slogan was “Cougars Take Command of the Colonels.” The float also won first place in the class competition and placed third overall. The big day finally arrived and the sophomore class got their lungs in shape. The many hours of work were considered worth the ef- fort as the class won the Homecoming spirit stick. Very proud of this accomplishment, the tenth graders carried it to every class. It was also present at the game and dance. This showed the Cougars that the sophomores were backing them and helped to set the stage for a great Homecoming game. “Colonel Kym Davidson cowers before the on¬ coming Cougar tanker. Sophomores 41 Term Papers Difficult Task During three weeks of their English classes sophomores worked hard on term papers which had to be finished before their deadline. Many hours of research and reading were put into these papers. Teachers drilled proper English and sentence structure into students ' heads so they could at least decipher some words when the final copy was submitted. Getting mothers or fathers to type their paper, or “hunting and pecking’’ themselves, sophomores struggled. If they had not rechecked their books from the library they had over-due fines about which to worry. After changing their topic several times, final drafts were made and submitted, but then came the oral report. Getting in front of their fellow classmates, sophomores held back the laughter and stammered out their speech. In the end sophomores threw away note cards and began to get back into the swing of things. After all, life did not just happen in the classroom.

The winner received a trip to the Hugh O’Brian Youth Foundation International Leadership Seminar which was held in Richmond. Contestants had to have experience in leadership in such areas as extra-curricular ac¬ tivities at home, school, and in their community. They had to have demonstrated emerging leadership ability, cooperated with fellow human beings, displayed sensitivity to the needs of others related to new pursuits and acquaintances, and created the desire to learn and to share the knowledge and ex¬ periences with others. Out of many applications, Cindy Farmer’s was chosen. She had much experience in each of these areas. She traveled to Richmond and attended the seminar where she enjoyed a weekend of new learning experiences. While meet¬ ing with other students from throughout Virginia, Cindy gained a greater knowledge and un¬ derstanding of how to be a better leader at school and in the com¬ munity.

Vocational Study Begins in Tenth Grade Some sophomores chose to open a new door this year by enroll¬ ing in vocational courses. These classes were optional and were designed to help students choose their occupations. Typing 1 was a popular choice of tenth grade students. In this class students learned different techni¬ ques of typing. They typed business and personal letters and worked on speed exercises until their skills were correct and fast. Cosmetology was a three hour course in which proper care of the hair, face, and hails was learned. Girls who tookThis course sham¬ pooed and styled patrons’ hair af¬ ter many hours of practice. Many learned to give manicures and ap¬ ply make-up for their customers. There were Building Trades, Electronics, Mechanics, and World of Communications for those who were interested. Photography was a mini course offered in World of Communications. General Business students dealt with the problems of the business world and learned varying trades. Students also became acquainted with the procedures and problems of personal banking. Through vocational classes, many students began preparing for their life’s work during their tenth grade year. 46 Sophomores Raymond A. O’Dell Rhonda L. O’Dell Tina L. O’Dell Debra R. Orren Teresa J.

Taylor Sports Provide Break From Schoolwork On the field, track, court, ortrail, sophomores who participated in sports triumphed greatly. They supplied talent, enthusiasm, and improvement to the varsity and junior varsity teams. Sophomores could be depended upon to attend practices and work hard for their sport because they had fewer out¬ side disturbances about which to worry, such as jobs. Some sophomores excelled in their respective sport because of their talent and dedication. Both men’s and women’s sports were bettered by the participation of stu¬ dents from the tenth grade. TrippDunmanwasan all-around athlete who added much to the sports program. Through hard work and determination, Sandy Lyons and Amy Carden gave much to the gymnastics team. Tennis and basketball star Stephanie Peters added much depth to her teams. Chris Lambert and David Webb gave valuable help to the var¬ sity basketball team making their year successful. Through the help of these athletes and their sophomore teammates, the varsity teams were considered successful. School spirit, added by the sophomore stu¬ dents, proved to be helpful to the teams at both the varsity and junior varsity levels.

Thornton Letter Jackets Not Easy to Come By Receiving a letter jacket in your sophomore year is considered quite an honor. In order to qualify for a jacket, a student must first earn a letter in a particular sport or activity. Some tenth graders who lettered participated in a varsity sport while others lettered in choir, band, drama or forensics. After lettering, a student received a gold certificate from his respective coach. Upon presenta¬ tion of his certificate he could or¬ der an official letter jacket. Some students, who had previously lettered in the ninth grade, received a gold bar in their sophomore year. A student with more than one talent could letter in different sports, choir, band, foren¬ sics, or drama in one year. Attain¬ ing a school letter and purchasing a letter jacket were the highlight of the year for many sophomores. p JL v ■ ■ i mP The long and short of it” — Michael Flynn and Billy Murphy pause at locker. 50 Sophomores Debra L.

The horizon of opportunities and challenges widened as the juniors added the pieces that set them apart from the un¬ derclassmen. Class rings, car pools, drivers’ licenses, and the Junior- Senior Prom all formed a part of the juniors’ lifestyles. Juniors 53 Terry Guynn Directs Junior Class Johnny M. Adams Rhonda G.

Anderson Vanessa M. Anderson Sandra L. Andrews The year 1978-79 was a very busy year for the junior class of¬ ficers. Leading the class were Terry Guynn, president, Kaye Jones, vice president, Sabrina Alley, secretary- treasurer, and Von Beamer, re¬ porter. The junior class spent the end of their sophomore year selling M M candies as a project to raise money, but unfortunately only a mere $1800 was made. The class officers planned a sock hop after the first home football game. The dance was a great success. Approx¬ imately $3000 was raised on all projects to help pay for the prom. The next step in planning for the prom was the selection of a decorating committee to assist the officers in the final preparations. After the many hours that were spent with prom planning, the theme — “Book of Dreams” — was decided upon. The band selected to play was “Power Play” from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Cox Juniors Struggle Through Chemistry What class did juniors look forward to with fear in their hearts and a slight tremble in their hand? Chemistry! For the many students who chose to continue with their science courses during their junior year, chemistry was their choice. Often during the year one could find students walking through the locker banks with a dazed look on their faces. At such times one could tell that there was a chemistry test scheduled for that day. Why did students stay up until two in the morning finishing their homework? Fear! Many students were anxious to do their work so that they would be spared the em¬ barrassment of delaying the class while they tried to answer a ques¬ tion. More so than many other teachers, Mrs. Sloop had the power to inspire students to keep up with their lessons. Others were afraid of letting themselves and their parents down. And, of course, the ultimate motivation was to make a decent grade. After a long period of studying, Mrs. Sloop’s sixth period chemistry class listens intently for homework assignment. All chemistry students found homework a daily neccessity. Juniors 57 Wesley A. Cox Maria L. Crigger Cherron L. Crisp Michael R. Crockett Letorious D. Croslin Jeffery S. Crouch Aaron D.

The combinations all referred to tests and all juniors were involved in at least one set of these important examinations. A major fall event was the Preliminary Scholastic Appitude Test National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (P.S.A.T. N.M.S.- Q.T.). This was an important ex¬ perience for those who would be taking Scholastic Aptitude Test (S.A.T.). The three words Science Research Associates (S.R.A.) also held special meaning for juniors. These meant one full week of testing. Science, social studies, language arts, and math were all covered in this test for which the students were tak en out of their U.S. History classes. In January, the S.A.T. was given to interested juniors and again to seniors. These tests were required for the early decision program and f or entrance to most four year colleges. With the aid of their P.S.A.T. result booklets, Renee Wiley and Cynthia Anneski compare scores and attempt to interpret their individual performances. 58 Juniors Thomas S. Dalton Geneva R.

A rainbow of colors and styles left them wondering what to do. Josten’s gave eleventh graders a choice of sterling silver, yellow or white gold, and included a new style, Argentus. All rings carried a standard design, the P.C.H.S. em¬ blem with 1980 on one side and a “Growling Cougar” on the other. Besides choosing to have their birthstone on the ring, students could also pick between mother of pearl or genuine black onyx. Extras included a protective emblem, let¬ tering behind the stone, or an im¬ printed cougar symbol. Prices ranged from twenty-five to eighty dollars. As Christmas vacation neared, students became more excited. There was speculation as to whether the rings would arrive before Christmas. However, the fateful announcement was finally made and the cheers of the junior class rang throughout the halls. Karen Farmer places an order with Mr. Donald Schley for her class ring. Other students pick out ring sizes and combinations while eagerly waiting to place their orders. Virginia L. Head Philip K. Hearn Thomas J. Hearn Amy E. Hemmings Danny L. Henley Bobby R.

Her main duty while at Kroger’s was that of cashier as she worked from ten to nineteen hours per week. Many juniors were assisted by D.E. and I.C.T. classes in obtaining a job, but Letorius received hers by talking to the assistant manager, who gave her an application to complete. She has been employed there for eight months. Letorius was also a varsity basketball cheerleader. She had been a cheerleader for three years and really enjoyed traveling to the different schools, meeting new people, and cheering the Cougars to victory. Other activities included singing in the Concert Choir where she was chosen to attend All Regional Choruses. She was also active in the B.S.U. club. Upon graduation Letorius would like to attend Virginia Tech or Virginia Com¬ monwealth University.

Nixon Junior Wins Numerous Track Awards One distinctive member of the junior class was Richard Noel. Richard stood out among other juniors as being a top track runner. He began running in the sixth grade but didn’t run competitively until the seventh grade. Richard ran both indoor and out¬ door track. To prepare for the on- comingtrackseasons, he ran in the morning before school started. During the summer, he ran every day and twice a day as the track season neared. This outstanding junior won numerous track awards. In the ninth grade, he placed second in district cross country and first in both the indoor and outdoor two mile and the outdoor one mile. During his sophomore year, he placed third in cross country, and while a junior, he won the Virginia High Invitational Cross Country Race. February proved to be a busy month for Richard Noel and the cross country team. Juniors 65 Richard L. Noel Daymond L. O’Dell Sharon K. Ogle Timothy J. Oliver Randy R. Olverson Jamie M. K. Orr Lisa A.

Peterson Juniors Survive U.S. History Class Throughout the year juniors shared in common one class — U.S. History. Everything from the Puritans to present day life was in¬ vestigated, scrutinized, memorized and pondered. At times rumors spread like wildfire that there would be a test that day. At such times students rushed about trying to find out the truth, or cramming, just to be on the safe side. At the beginning of the school Students in sixth period history class listen at¬ tentively as Mrs. M. Davis explains a required project which is to involve some aspect of local history. year a great deal of confusion was caused by juniors who found out the hard way that their history class was in the science pod and not in the social studies pod. Dur¬ ing the fall students missed several days of history to take the S.R.A. tests and to participate in other junior class activities. To add to the chaos, mid-way through the second nine weeks many of these same students ob¬ tained a new teacher. Mrs. Jo Finefrock replaced Mrs. Barbara Goldfield as the history teacher in the humanities program. A notorious teacher of history was Mrs. Marie Davis, famous for some of the strange questions she asked. One example was “How many whiskers did Abe Lincoln have on his face when he died?” 66 Juniors Mark C. Peterson Tony R. Peterson Garnett W. Phillips Donna H. Pierce Micheal E. Piper Darrell W.

In addition to these extra curricular activities, Pat was a very involved and talent¬ ed art student. One of his major projects in art was the painting of a mural on his bedroom wall. Patrick had played basketball since the fifth grade but was unable to participate in the ninth grade because of a knee operation. He began playing golf about three years ago and said that his game had improved greatly. When asked whether any of these activities af¬ fected his grades he replied, “Not really, sometimes basketball does but usually I can get all of my work finished.” Patrick planned to at¬ tend college, hopefully the Univer¬ sity of Virginia.

In most other sports, athletes could letter if they made the team. Juniors played an important role on the varsity basketball team. Six of the twelve players were in the eleventh grade. In varsity sports, both mens’ and womens , the juniors helped to create enthusiasm, interest, and suc¬ cessful teams.

There were some regrets about having finished and having to leave it all behind, but seniors faced a tougher challenge and a new puzzle, and they began to pick up the pieces all over again. Senior Jewelry: Mementoes of the Year Senior jewelry was distributed through government classes in the middle of January. The types of jewelry ordered were necklaces, bracelets, key chains, and charms. The keys were burgundy and gold with a raised “P.C.” in the center. A shock to the seniors occurred when the representative told the class that the prices had been lowered from the previous year. The prices ranged from three to five dollars. These articles of jewelry were items to identify a senior and also to be kept as a memento of their senior year. A senior key was one of the many articles of jewelry made available to seniors as mementoes.

For Lisa Hutton, most of her time outside of school was spent grooming and training her prize¬ winning horses. The devotion and love for her horses made the hard work go smoothly for Lisa. Her labors were not in vain as she cap¬ tured many awards in area fairs and shows. This love for horses started for Lisa at the early age of two. Throughout her competitions, Lisa had achieved over one hundred awards. She planned to continue her competing rodeos and horse shows on her newest horse, Charg¬ ing Dixie. 78 Seniors TIMOTHY MICHAEL BOYD CHERYL CONNIE BOYSAW KATHY SUE CHARLOTTE LEIGH BRANSCOME BRATTON JOHNNIEWAYNE BRATTON DONNA LEE BRAY DAVID MADISON CHARLES WAYNE BREEDLOVE BROWN RENEE DENISE BRUMFIELD JAMES EDWARD BROWN LISA DOREEN BROWN ROBERT HOWARD BROWN Seniors 79 JANET KAY BUCHANAN CADDELL WILLIAM BURTON DREMADAWN BULLIS STEPHEN JAY BUNDY LEA MICHELLE BURNETT KATHERINE PEARL CALLOWAY TERRI LISA CARDEN DEBRA JEAN CASTEELE RICKEY DEWAYNE NATALIE JEAN LINDA GAIL MARGARET ANN CHRISTIAN CLARK COCHRAN COLE 80 Seniors Senior Steering Committee Directs Class JANET KAY BUCHANAN — F.H.A. 9.

The members of this com¬ mittee were elected from the government classes. The steering committee plan¬ ned and directed the activities of the senior class throughout the year. They selected color, design and script for the graduation ann ouncements. The most important community service project, sponsoring the Red Cross Bloodmobile, was held in March. Seniors thoroughly suppor¬ ted this project. Another project, the autographed T-shirts, was a big hit with the seniors and the T-shirts were worn on special “T-shirt” days. The senior year ended with the observance of the traditional “Senior Week.” The activities of this week included a picnic, a luncheon in the Commons Area at which time Senior Superlatives were announced, teacher apprecia¬ tion day, and “Senior Sneak Day.” Members of the Senior Steering Committee: (FRONT ROW) Lynn Thornton, Renee Brumfield, Tina Phillips, Rhonda Ramsey, Adlyn Hicks, (BACK ROW) Kelly Roberson, Rena Thomas, Sponsor Mrs. Edna Loftus, Angie Parris, Angie Farmer, Cindy Stafford, Mark Hanks, Mary An¬ derson, Tom Haller, Mike McKinney.

Having purchased recordings for several years, his collection had reached into the hundreds. He possessed a thorough knowledge of orchestras of the world, out¬ standing performers and perfor¬ mances, and virtuosos. Kelly contributed much to the music department through leadership in both band and choir. Whether playingthe French horn or singing bass, his presence was felt as he performed each day. Named to both All Regional Band and All Regional Chorus he also qualified to audition for All Virginia Band. Kelly planned to attend college and major in music with a concentra¬ tion in French horn and voice with hopes of becoming a performer or conductor of orchestras. Cougar band member Kelly Frye spends hours of personal practice after school with his French horn. KATHY LYNN DAWSON — F.B.L.A. 9; F.F.A. 10; V.I.C.A. 12.

Senior year meant senior privileges as the senior class was the one class of the school that en¬ joyed special perogatives. Some of these privileges were abused by a few students but the majority of the seniors appreciated the advan¬ tages given them. Being a senior had its rewards every day as seniors were allowed to go to lunch five minutes early, thus avoiding the long lines under¬ classmen considered a normal in¬ convenience. Although the seniors didn’t manage to win the spirit stick competition, they enjoyed the privilege of marching into pep rallies as the rest of the student body stood to show respect. The final and perhaps most enjoyable privilege was being allowed to skip one day of school on “Senior Sneak Day.” JERRY CLISBY GREGORY DENNIS EUGENE GRUBB DEBORAH SUE GUTHRIE JO ANN GUYNN Seniors 89 Class of 1979 takes S.A.T. and A.C.T.

Sherry jumped to spike the ball but twisted her leg when landing which resulted in a torn cartilage.

Pulaski County High School was represented at Boys’ State by three seniors this past summer. John Huddle, Mark Hanks, and Chuck Pound spent the third week in June at Lynchburg College attending the program. Through active participa¬ tion by boys from throughout Virginia, Boys’ State, sponsored by the American Legion, provided a better insight and understanding of a person’s rights and respon¬ sibilities as an American citizen. When they arrived at the college representatives were placed in dif¬ ferent groups or “cities” which stood for actual cities within the state. While there the students listened to speakers, studied Virginia government, met new friends, and participated in caucuses and elections. All three young men took part in city and state elections while Mark and John each served as members of the state senate. All agreed that it was a rewarding and practical ex¬ perience to have been a member of Boys’ State.

Those attending en¬ joyed a pot-luck dinner in the Com¬ mons Area and then proceeded to roast their victims using jokes as fuel. Victims were Rhonda Ramsey, class president, Chuck Pound, S.C.A. president, and Mrs. Edna Loftus, class sponsor. Mr. Elmer Huff, sub-school principal, and Mr. Dale Conrad, twelfth-grade coun¬ selor, also suffered from wise¬ cracks. Roasters Mike McKinney, Sue Spivey, Mark Anderson, and Barry Alexander were well prepared with derogatory remarks about their victims but all survived the evening and seniors went home in an excellent frame of mind. Senior Barry Alexander presents his repertoire and jokes at the roast. NATHANIEL WAYNE JONES TIMOTHY LEE JONES — V.I.C.A 10-12.

During the summer months Willis could be seen trailing behind a boat with a tow rope in his hands. When the weather became bad, as far as water skiing was con¬ cerned, Willis changed his trips to the ski slopes. Often, instead of studying his lessons on weekends, Willis spent most of his time study¬ ing the hills and valleys of the Cascades slopes. Even though both of these sports could lead to danger and injuries for Willis, he continued with his skiing, adapting himself to go with the season.

Although the bulletins were usually lengthy, most students took time to read these messages from the guidance department. This service at¬ tempted to keep seniors posted on all activities and deadlines which might affect them. Dates and infor¬ mation about job interviews and applications for local businesses and industries, final dates for sub¬ mission of applications to specific colleges, and information concern¬ ing enlistment in the armed ser¬ vices could all be readily found on the bulletins. These mimeographed pages also served as a reminder of such chores as college board ex¬ aminations which many seniors had to plod through on Saturdays and a more welcome announce¬ ment of senior class pot luck din¬ ners and other fun filled activities.

Seniors 109 RHONDA LYNN RHONDA LYNN RODNEY DAVID MICHAEL RADCLIFFE RAMSEY RATCLIFF REVES RAY Seniors Learn to Operate Voting Machines One course that was still a senior requirement was U.S.Government. This subject was one of the most time-consuming as far as studying. The government teachers often had a hard time trying to make the class a little more interesting. Sometimes the teachers had some aid in this when, for example, the classes got a chance to participate in a mock election. The mock election was the first time most seniors had come in contact with a voting machine. Each student went into the cur¬ tained area and cast his votes. The results were similar to the state¬ wide tallies in several of the items. One item that caused heated dis¬ cussions in some classes was the proposal to sell liquor by the drink. By the end of the year, most seniors had a better knowledge of their government and, as an added benefit, showed better studying habits.

While most schools were not, by any means, considered vacations, “Governor ' s School” was definitely a bold exception.

For twenty-eight days, the state- funded schools furnished the “gif- ties” with a wide variety of ac¬ tivities including guest speakers, weekend field trips to Washington’s Kennedy Center and Smithsonian Institution, canoe trips, concerts, and dances. On the week days, the students attended classes pertain¬ ing to their various fields of interest. had met for the last time, the 1978 edition of the Governor’s School for the Gifted drew to a close. The Governor of Virginia, John N. Dalton, was on hand for the occa¬ sion with closing remarks. After the talk, the students re¬ turned to their dorms to gather their belongings. The ensuing three hours were perhaps the saddest hours anyone could spend. This revealed just how strong many friendships had become. Vowing to ■write often, everyone said last goodbyes.

Other aspects of his job included dishwashing, mopping floors and waiting on customers. Joe’s main interest at school was football which he played for four years. At Wendy’s, Joe Hodge fills the customer ' s order by cooking an old-fashioned hamburger. Seniors 117 RICHARD RANDOLF SURFACE, JR. Caps, DONALD WAYNE DONALD WAYNE SWORD TABOR Gowns: Important and JAMES LAREW TABOR, JR. Expensive! One aspect that made gradua¬ tion easier to believe was the day Mr. Don Schley, representative of Josten’s, measured the seniors for their graduation attire. Although this took place in January, most seniors were already anxious for the big event. The girl’s gown was the traditional white, the boy’s burgundy. The tassels were burgundy except for those of the National Honor Society members which were gold. Some seniors were lucky enough to have a hand-me-down gown which resulted in less expense for students. Although the caps and gowns increased the seniors’ finan¬ cial burden, they were articles every senior had to have. Many complaints were heard but it was certain that no one had plans to be without them at graduation time. Arrived at that all-important milestone, Pam Harmon orders her cap and gown from Mr. Don Schley. RICHARD RANDOLF SURFACE, JR. V.I.C.A. 11 - 12 .

Students who had never before ap¬ plied for any position found them¬ selves filling out either job or college applications. Early in the year, many seniors came in contact with applications for employment at local companies as they hoped for either a part or full-time job while still attending school. Income from these jobs, if the application was approved, was often used for a car, clothes, dating expenses, or, at times, found its way into a savings account for further education. A surprise for college bound stu¬ dents was the expense of simply applying to a college. Fees ranged from five to thirty-five dollars. They also found they often needed ad¬ vice from teachers and counselors to complete all sections of com¬ plicated questionnaires. Such questions as “Do you consider yourself to be an asset to your high school?” were very difficult for many students to answer. Guidance counselor Mr. Dale Conrad helps senior Diane Johnson complete an application.

As darkroom technician, she developed and printed pictures and helped to decide which ones should be used in the various area newspapers. Kathy began her job in the fall of her sophomore year and intended to keep it until graduation. Working for the New River Newspapers, Kathy gained valuable experience in photography and public rela¬ tions that would certainly be of benefit to her in the future.

These students were comprised of musi¬ cians, cheerleaders, scholars, athletes, and exceptional leaders. Each demonstrated the qualities of superior leadership and dedication, and inspired respect from those around them. Many were involved in extra-curricular activities such as church or social groups while others were members in school clubs. The first requirement for being elected an outstanding senior was nomination by a faculty member. During the first round of nomina¬ tions the faculty chose seventy members of the senior class. This group was narrowed down to forty (cont. pg. 126) Piano accompanist Susan Shelor gets ready for her trip to Atlanta, Georgia, where the Concert Choir will participate in the Six Flags Over Georgia Choir Festival the third week in April.

It was as if the pieces of the puzzle fell into place by themselves. Some students enjoyed pep rallies, sporting events, sock hops, and going to the Pizza Hut. Other students were involved in part-time jobs and planning for their futures.

Morning: Anticipation ... At 6:00 A.M., while most stu¬ dents slept soundly, the cross country team arrived at school to begin their morning run. At eight o’clock students were piling out of their cars and scampering into class to avoid another tardy. Then the buses began to empty passengers onto the sidewalk and chaos struck. When bus riders finally reached the doors, they were not surprised to hear a chorus of off-tune voices singing “Happy Birthday” to some embarrassed victim. Realizing that it was going to be another one of those puzzling days, they sat down and waited for the doors of the Commons to open. Most were quite aware of the wild and crazy things that happened in the morning. Senior members of the football team ran plays in the halls, and music for the occasion was provided by radio station WPCH. When the doors opened to the locker banks, students ventured forth to mingle with friends. The guys lined up along the railings to watch the girls go by. During the morning strolls around the locker banks, students exchanged popular phrases per¬ taining to life at school: “Quick! You’ve got to help me with my geometry!” or “Did you see that? Now that was a scream!” The congestion and confusion in the locker area peaked as eight o’clock classes were dismissed. Too soon the bell rang and utter chaos turned into a semblance of order — students departed for their morning classes. “This is going to be another one of those days — Mr. John Duncan awaits the arrival of officers who will assess the damages.

Amid noise, music and after a long wait in the lunch line, the students are rewarded with spaghetti, tossed salad, toasted French bread and milk. I Noon: Socialization ... Relaxation .. . Students eagerly anticipated their lunch period, as it provided a welcome break to their hectic class periods. Seniors experienced the privilege of racing to the lunch lines five minutes early. But the rest of the student body spent endless amounts of time waiting relentlessly in the long, crowded lunch lines. The more courageous student tried to skip the lines, only to be humiliated by an observant faculty member. “Did you finish your homework?” and “Man, was that physics test rough!” resounded throughout the Commons Area. Upcoming sock hops or the latest movie in town were also items of conversation among the students as they seemed to inhale their food. After the student finished eating, he was faced with many options as to what he could do for the remain¬ der of the lunch period. Of utmost importance was, of course, finishing homework or cramming for the big English test. Many of the students proceeded to the library to fulfill these obligations while others simply chose to park them¬ selves amidst the locker banks to study. To many of the students, however, this was a time to go com¬ pletely crazy. Some people found recreation in climbing the school walls, while others chose to stand on their heads. Tag Team” wres¬ tling matches were also a common event, as were the sounds of a con¬ dor-like animal, usually heard near the senior lockers.

Afternoon: Culmination ... Separation . . . A sigh of relief drifted through the halls as 3:05 approached. Stu¬ dents charged to their lockers, only to spend the next few minutes rum¬ maging for homework assign¬ ments. First bus students reached their buses rushing for the back seats. Other students hastened to their cars in the parking lot trying to beat the rush of traffic. For some, work would be their destination, while others would head for home and relaxation. Some students rode a later bus or stayed after school to get extra help in a difficult subject. Others, who were forced to stay after, went reluctantly to detention hall or to their respective classes for make¬ up work. The Commons Area filled once again with noise, and occasionally gossip or light discussions of the school day could be overheard. Out in the halls, the chatters and chants of cheerleaders practicing a pom-pon routine or perfecting a new cheer filled the air. The band marched in the parking lot dodging the few remaining cars. In the gym, the bouncing of a basketball echoed, and on the field, football players clashed their pads and helmets together. The crack of a bat resounded as baseball players hit sharp line drives, and the pounding of feet was heard as sprinters circled the Cougar Den Stadium.

Band, Baseball and Beauty Queens — Activities extended far beyond the regular six hour day at P.C.H.S. Weekends were filled with many types of activities and competitions including the Junior Miss Pageant, band festivals and tournaments. On Saturday, September 23, the Junior Miss Pageant was held in the Little Theater. Eight girls entered the contest and were judged on talent, poise, scholastic ability and physical fitness. Lynn Thornton won the poise and physical fitness awards and was named Pulaski County’s new Junior Miss. She traveled to Roanoke on November 6 for a week long competition in the Virginia Junior Miss Pageant. There Lynn won the Simplicity contest and received a one hun¬ dred dollar scholarship. September 23 was also an eventful day for the Pulaski County Golden Cougar Marching Band. The band traveled to Chilhowie to participate in the Apple Festival where they received a superior rating. They also entered the Lynchburg Classic on October 14 where they placed sixth overall. In the spring of 1978 the Cougar Varsity Baseball Team climaxed an exciting and rewarding year by capturing the Roanoke Valley District Cham¬ pionship. After being down 5-4 in the championship game with Salem, Pulaski County rallied in the top of the seventh to defeat the Spartans 9-5. After a disputed 3-2 loss in the first round of the Regional playoffs, the team’s mark stood at 17-6. This proved to be the best season ever for the young Cougars.

Student Life 137 “Comings and Goings” Second at State On September 11, 1978 tryouts were held for the one-act play “Comings and Goings.” Termed “a trampoline for actors by the playwright Megan Terry, the play called for an acting ensemble con¬ sisting of seven actresses and eight actors. Sketches depicting the comings” and the “goings” in life were enacted by couples of per¬ formers with several scenes utiliz¬ ing the composite dramatic abilities of the entire cast. Directors of the play, Mr. Skip Maiden. Mr. Mont Quesenberry, Mrs. Kitty Earles, and Ms. Dot Reid unified the duets and included original sketches that brought the play together as an ensemble. Mrs. Majella Myers served as both seamstress by sewing costumes for the entire cast, and as chauffeur. Comings and Goings was presented to the student body on October 12 to an audience of 640 people.

Everything from teddy bears to stuffed snakes appeared as ‘‘Stuff ’em Day” started the week’s events. On Tuesday, the halls resembled a set for ‘‘Happy Days” as students dressed for ‘‘Fifties’ Day.” Socks of every description were seen beneath rolled-up jeans as Wednes¬ day came and brought with it ‘‘Sock ’em Day.” Thursday brought about a new experience as spirited students wore ties (many for the first time) and boots for ‘Tie ’em Up and Boot ’em Day.” Excitement continued to mount and more stu¬ dents participated by wearing their overalls for ‘‘Overhaul ’em Day” on Friday. Homecoming Week was also filled with various class competi¬ tions, including locker bank decorations, showcases in the Commons, and the spirit chain. Each class was represented by a mini-float as were many clubs. Dedicated students stayed after school, came at night, and arrived early in the morning to work on the floats for the pep rally competition. The overall winner was V.I.C.A. with the theme ‘‘Cream the Colonels.” In class competition, the sophomores dominated winning the spirit competition and the spirit stick. The senior class won the spirit chain competition collecting money for the gymnastics team, which sponsored the event. The freshman class participated in most of the activities and placed second in the showcase competi¬ tion and third in the float competi¬ tion. “Pink Panther fanatic Colin Mickey dem¬ onstrates his school spirit on stuff ’em day. “Let’s beat Flemming!

This win and the enthusiasm that came with it carried over to Saturday night at the homecoming dance. Early in the week, each senior chose one male and one female out of the senior class to be on the homecoming court. The top fifty- two seniors chosen were put on the list of those to be voted on by the rest of the student body. Then each student was given a list of these seniors and was told to vote for one male and one female only. From this, the top thirteen males and the top thirteen females were put into couples to form our homecoming court, queen and king. Greg Blankenship and Marilyn Hills were crowned king and queen at the dance by the former king and queen, Tim Venable and Ruthie Franklin. The band called “Chess” played a variety of songs to which students danced. Floats served as decorations and the theme, ‘‘Tonight is the Night,” created the atmosphere for an exceptional end to homecoming events. “Hut one . . . hut two . . . go!

Master of Ceremonies Mr. Patrick Irving began the S.C.A. sponsored pageant by introducing the judges and contestants in turn. There were three elimination rounds and winners were announ¬ ced during the fourth round. Throughout the pageant, the audience participated by shouting the numbers of their favorites. In fact, some became so carried away that they shouted numbers like “B- 10”, “G-40”, “Bingo!” The field of contestants was finally narrowed to seven finalists. The first and second runners-up respectively were Marilyn Hills, a senior, and Karen Farm er, a junior.

The book would not have been the usual “do’s and don’ts” of social life but rather the “vyhat to do and where to do it” at Pulaski County H. S. Many new fads and fashions were in vogue, not to mention the new words that came out of the mouths of students. New shoes, socks, and skirts were a part of the fashion scene. The ‘‘Annie Hall” look was most popular, with baggy pants, skirts, shirts, and slender ties much like the 1920 fashions. Wearing socks with big wool skirts and “Dexter” shoes was also a big fashion fad. As warmer weather began, high heel shoes such as “Candies and slinkier dresses and petite sun¬ dresses took over. For men, pleated trousers, “Docksiders,” and no¬ collar shirts were the craze. Disco clothes also dominated the fashion scene with wraparound silky skirts, off-the-shoulder tops, and high heel spike shoes. Satin was an im¬ portant part of the disco scene. Certain fads such as hats with feathers and jeans and high heels were also seen. Crimped and very curly hair made its way to the top of the list along with the come back of A-line skirts and bobby socks. On fifties day no one knew who was dressed up for today and who was dressed for the fifties. One often heard words such as “be mellow,” “shozbot,” “na-noo, na-noo, “get off, or “what’s hap’nin’? These phrases and other lingo took on a new meaning. One might say that students had a “foreign language all their own.

Blankenship and Hyde Chosen as King and Queen for the Christmas Sock Hop In keeping with the spirit of Christmas and as an end to the Snow Queen and King contest, the Christmas Dance was sponsored by the Future Business Leaders of America on December 15 in the commons area. Previously, stu¬ dents had voted for one male and one female to represent their class; however, in ' 78 the top two couples from each grade level competed, making a total of sixteen contes¬ tants. The entrants, with the help of their friends, collected money fora week. For each penny donated a candidate was allotted one vote. The money was totaled at the end of each day and the leading cou¬ ples were announced the following morning. The Snow King and Queen were announced at the Christmas Dance with Greg Blankenship being named king and Autti Hyde queen. Each received a crown while Miss Hyde was presented flowers and Mr. Blankenship a boutonniere. Each contestant was recognized and the first runners-up were Cindy Parks and Joe Blankenship. The band, “Speed of Sound”, provided music for the evening and a visit from Santa Claus brought candy canes to those in atten¬ dance.

A career as a teacher left little time for leisure activity, but some ventured into the most daring and demanding hobbies to make use of every spare moment. Sports played a large role in many teachers’ lives away from school. John Freeman, tennis coach, played the game for fun as well as a career. Edna and Harry Loftus spent weekends on the putting green at nearby golf courses. For Jeane Hillman, sky¬ diving was a hobby “above” all others. Maggie Manning spent her leisure time gliding across Claytor Lake on skis. Barbara Crockett rode the trail on hors eback, but Bob McGinley preferred the motor¬ bike.

Her expertise as a seamstress paid off. She made many of her own clothes and often kept the drama productions in costumes. Thalia Looney was in a class alone. She had played the trom¬ bone only a few years and was an accomplished musician in the ‘‘Old Pros” band.

Even those students who had jobs somehow managed to squeeze an hour or two out of their hectic schedules to spend with their friends. There were several places in which students congregated; eating places seemed to be a favorite target. On Friday and Saturday nights, sm all groups of friends could be spotted eating pizza at the Pizza Hut or munching on ‘‘Big Mac’s” at MacDonalds. For the more active students, roller skating and bowling seemed to be more in line. The same people were usually seen at these activities each weekend, so that they became familiar faces to everyone who went there. During the football season various sock hops were held. These dances were successes or failures depending on whether or not the team happened to win the game that night. Movies were another source of night entertainment for students. Friends packed themselves in cars and headed for Pulaski and Rad¬ ford theatres or the Plaza Theatre in Fairlawn. One usually knew whether the new movies were worth seeing by the extent of gossip coverage they got at school. Some popular movies of the year in this area were Superman The Movie, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, Every Which Way But Loose, and Halloween. One of the most favored enter¬ tainments for teenagers had to be “cruising.” The point of cruising (or just driving around) was to try to see as many of one’s friends as possible in a night. Anyone with a car, plenty of gas, and a group of friends could be seen in this pur¬ suit. His aim, seemingly, was to drive from one end of town to the other until he had accumulated quite a bit of mileage. All in all, one had to believe that teenagers used their night-life in the best way they knew how, just having fun. 154 Student Life (LEFT) The agony of defeat is displayed on Carol Guthrie’s face as the bowl¬ ing ball rolls gently towards the gutter.

Two girls and a boy were the first exchange stu¬ dents to attend the school. Jaime Orr, from Australia, Patricia Roman, from Colombia, and Veronica Hernandez, from Chile, came to the United States with the help of the “Youth for Un¬ derstanding Program.’’ Australian junior Jaime Orr, arrived in Pulaski a few days after school opened. While here he stayed with the James K. Palmer family in Snowville. During his stay he visited Pennsylvania, Williamsburg, Jamestown, and the Outer Banks in North Carolina. Jaime said that people are very similar in Australia and the United States. The main differences be¬ tween the schools were the sports; in America they played football and basketball, and in Australia they played cricket. Patricia Roman was a fifteen year-old sophomore from Car¬ tagena, Colombia. In Colombia, Patricia attended a school compris¬ ing grades kindergarten through high school. The total enrollment at her school was approximately 500. Her real family lived in an apartment facing the Caribbean and they often took their boat out to a small island. While attending Pulaski County High, Patricia stayed with the Eugene Cram family. She enjoyed reading books, walking, and especially art. Veronica Hernandez was seven¬ teen and a seniorwhen she cameto Pulaski. While here, she stayed with the Roger Caudell family. Her real family had travelled extensively throughout Chile. In Chile she had attended a private all-girl Catholic school. Veronica enjoyed reading, listening to the radio, and going to the disco. Both girls agreed that the biggest difference in their schools and ours was the size and the num¬ ber of students enrolled. One big difference in the curriculums is that neither Patricia nor Veronica were able to choose their own classes in their schools. Also, in both of their schools the teachers changed classes, not the students. Chilean Veronica Hernandez works in the I.M.C. preparing material for her government class. 156 Student Life Schools Different I Study hall provides a good time to study or perhaps socialize if the instructor is willing.

Be in it.” Student Life 157 I I t Winter Formal Dance is Cancelled But Students Find Entertainment Elsewhere “All dressed up and nowhere to go!” This could have been the theme of the Winter Formal Dance scheduled for February 10. After buying dresses, suits, and flowers, and dining out, students arrived at the decorated gym only to discover that the band had cancelled at the thirteenth hour. Thus the dance could not be held that night and students had to find other forms of entertainment for the evening. The dance was rescheduled for March 3, and the band “Starfire” providingthe music which included the top twenty tunes. Although many students had conflicts and could not attend the second time around, the theme “Close to You” proved to be very appropriate. The fact that many students were un¬ able to be present did not dim the enthusiasm of the approximately 300 lively participants. The Winter Formal was sponsored by the S.C.A. with proceeds being used for the many worthwhile projects which it spearheaded throughout the year. 7 School gym reverberates to sound of Starfire as students boogie down at winter formal.

As soon as the school doors opened in the fall the student was hit full in the face with a $12.00 book rental fee, $3.00 school insurance, $1.00 activity fee and $.50 a day for lunches. It was even harder for a senior class member who had to pay for senior portraits, approx¬ imately $20.00 to $70.00, cap and gown, $6.40, and graduation an¬ nouncements, approximately $20.00, just to name a few items. The student’s parents paid for many of these items. However, this still affected the student who could not count on money from parents for another month. Most students ran into heavy debts when they started driving and dating. Money for gas, movies, hamburgers, tapes, drinks, and dented fenders often cost a student into the hundreds. Various methods were employed by students in their efforts to raise a little ready cash. The most com¬ mon way was to somehow pry it loose from their parents’ pockets. Taking the garbage out, cleaning up your room after six months of wallowing in the “mire”, and being especially nice helped to butter up the poor ‘‘unsuspecting pigeons.” If this did not work, there was always the direct approach. “Hey, Dad, may I have thirty dollars? I’ve got a date tonight.” “You must be crazy, here’s fifteen and that’s all you’re getting!” Others found that borrowing from a friend, going into hock, or skipping lunch for two weeks proved to be profitable. And although few relied on it, intimida¬ tion of the underclassmen was beneficial also. However, this was considered highly risky, especially if they had an older brother or sister. Still some students chose to take on part-time jobs. Grocery and department stores, restaurants and greasy spoon diners, factories and gas stations all provided employ¬ ment for students of P.C.H.S. Student Life 161 FAC U LT Y- CLASSES Just as each student and class provided integral parts of the puzzle, so did members of the faculty. The variety and type of classes taught all added to the puzzle’s com¬ plexity and established a base upon which students might work. 162 Faculty-Classes FACULTY — CLASSES Administration 164 Custodians 168 Cafeteria 169 Guidance 170 English 172 Fine Arts 174 I.M.C. 176 Foreign Language 177 Math 178 Physical Education 180 Science 182 Social Studies 184 Agriculture 186 Industrial Arts 187 Business 188 Home Economics 190 Special Education 191 Trades and Industries 192 Work Study 194 Drivers’ Education 195 Faculty-Classes 163 Telephones Mass Media for Principals The administration worked many long hours to improve the at¬ tendance of the students during the 78-79 school year. The new at¬ tendance policy was introduced; and although it involved much work, the administrators all agreed that the policy worked more ef¬ ficiently than in previous years. Mr. Dewey Wilson, principal, who was responsible for the activities and function of the entire school, also concerned himself with procedures and techniques in the education of the students. He kept the school’s master calendar, a necessity in avoiding schedule con¬ flicts that the school might encoun¬ ter. Much of his time was also spent meeting with visitors, parents, or in counseling students with discipline problems. He also conferred with other administrators to plan any upcoming events. As vice principal of the vocational building, Mr. Robert Riley directed the many activities and programs of the teachers and students participating in the various vocational courses. The care and replacement of the equip¬ ment throughout the building was also one of Mr. Riley’s major tasks. Serving as the sub-school prin¬ cipal of the senior class, Mr. Elmer Huff was often occupied with the duties of preparing seating and marching charts for graduation. He also evaluated the many curricula that the school had to offer, and dealt with counseling and with dis¬ cipline problems of the seniors. In addition to being the sub¬ school principal of the eleventh grade, Mr. Carl Lindstrom was faced with the great responsibilities of serving as the school’s athletic director. Tedious hours were spent scheduling events for the athletic teams of the school, as well as the hiring of officials for these com¬ petitions. As if being in charge of atten¬ dance procedures and fulfilling her duties of being sub-school principal for the sophomores were not enough, Mrs. Majella Myers was also responsible for student ac¬ tivities. Familiar to the students was the sight of Mrs. Myers at all sock-hops, dances, and other school-related activities. Mr. Ray Dunavant served as sub¬ school principal of the freshman class. He was kept busy with the concerns of the largest class. He was also responsible for the general upkeep of the building and grounds. Subschool principal of the twelfth grade Mr. Huff and Mr. Riley seek another opinion on an important matter after reading related material. 164 Administration “I ' ll see what I can work out for you.

Administration 165 Secretaries Help Regulate The administrative office secretaries were faced with many time-consuming tasks in the course of a day. Along with their clerical work, the secretaries also served as pleasant receptionists to any incoming visitors to the school. They were definitely a necessity for a smooth operation of school af¬ fairs. Mrs. Barbara Crockett, the school’s bookkeeper, kept herself occupied each day by handling the financial duties of the school. Counting lunch money, paying the school’s bills, and purchasing school and office supplies were the varying jobs that she undertook. She was also responsible for hand¬ ling senior graduation fees, along with other financial obligations of the students. Mrs. Shirley Brown dealt with the daily duties of totaling absences, typing absentee sheets, checking students in and out and sending out absentee notices to parents. Switchboard operator, Mrs. Bonnie Ward, served as an information source for the faculty by handling telephone calls. She also worked on the student registers which dealt with attendance. Mrs. Phyllis Cram maintained her efficiency as ad¬ ministrative secretary. She typed letters and other official papers of the administrators. She also typed and duplicated the notices to stu¬ dents or the faculty. The secretary of the vocational building, Miss Helen Cecil, was responsible for handling the bills School Affairs and payments for the equipment and repairs throughout the classrooms and shops. She kept the affairs of the vocational depart¬ ment running smoothly. Mrs. Woody Mady and Mr. Joseph McLawhorn, study hall at¬ tendants, were responsible for those students having an extra period for study. The two occupied themselves with such duties as writing library passes and monitor¬ ing the study habits of the stu¬ dents. Building engineer, Mr. Milton Aust, was responsible for the overall electrical operations of the school. It was his duty to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature inside the building throughout the year. (ABOVE) Mr. McLawhorn pauses in the office for a photo.

Administration 167 Custodial —Cafeteria Staff Keep School Fit and Trim Among the many duties of the custodians were the care and up¬ keep of bathrooms, carpets, classrooms, and corridors. During the summer months their respon¬ sibilities also included mowing the campus grounds and continually grooming the courtyard. Eleven people worked on the custodial staff which consisted of two shifts. Mr. Leon Clark, head custodian, Mrs. Lucy Adams, Mr. Calvin Thornton, Mr. Howard Lottier, Mr. Frank Baldwin, and Mr. Rodell Cruise worked the day shift from 8:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Mrs. I la and Mr. Ralph Neese, Mrs. Chun-ye and Mr. C.E. Moss, and Mr. Charlie F. McGuire worked the evening shift until 11:00 p.m. One of their job assignments was the cleaning and vacuuming of the cafeteria each day. The task of preparing a meal for a school of 2200 students was not easy for the cafeteria staff; hoWever, they presented a well- balanced and nutritious lunch each day. Under the management of Mrs. Louise Holliday, they worked diligently to satisfy the various tastes and needs of the students. A routine for Mr. Frank Baldwin is vacuuming. Head custodian Mr. Leon Clark checks supplies. In her busy day of housekeeping, Mrs. Lucy Adams gathers supplies from the storeroom. (ABOVE) One of the duties of Mr. Calvin E.

Many people helped make the guidance department a success. Included were Mrs. Faye Hanks, Mrs. Ruth Howe, Mrs. Marion Lockard, Mrs. Jean Blankenship, Mr. Dale Conrad and Mr. Ted Viers. Each of these coun¬ selors worked with an individual grade level. Mr. Viers was mainly concerned with the vocational school. Much time was consumed counselling students both during and after school. The Guidance Department was designed to aid students in gaining knowledge of their strengths and weaknesses. While each counselor had specific duties at each grade level, they worked together for the concern of the students. Coun¬ selors from ninth and tenth grade levels helped students to explore the opportunities of the high school. Counselors who worked with eleventh and twelfth grade levels were more concerned with career planning. Counselors also worked with students who had severe problems, inside and out¬ side of school. The main concern of the Guidance Department was to help students learn to cope with their problems to become suc¬ cessful, mature persons. This year, for the first time, the school employed a nurse on full time basis. Mrs. Annyce Levy was a very valuable addition to the school staff. Her main responsibility was the initial and primary health care of students. She was also called upon for emergency care of stu¬ dents and faculty. Next year Mrs. Levy hopes to establish programs for students with special health needs. GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT MRS. JEAN L. BLANKENSHIP Radford College; B.S.; U. Va.; M.

The English Department strove to help each student develop skills in speaking, listening, reading, writing, viewing and vocabulary. It also attempted to provide practical education to all students regard¬ less of ability or vocational goals. The courses of study fell into two basic categories — literature and media language. Forty-six courses appeared on the English Department list of elec¬ tive and required classes. Many of these courses could be taken only sequentially. Approximately 300 students were enrolled in more than one English class, either in preparation for college or because of previous failure. Teachers used a wide range of activities and audio visual aides to The overhead projector allows Mr. Patrick Irving to save a lot of time administering notes. enhance their instruction. Instruc¬ tional methods included lecture, seminars, small and large group discussions, guest speakers, research and oral presentations, in¬ dependent studies and performing. Also, co-curricular and extra¬ curricular activities such as field trips, forensics and plays helped enrich studies in English. Plans for next year included in¬ troduction of additional writing and speech components, reading courses for the “below level” readers and special classes for those students who had failed the minimum competency tests. “Revi¬ sion of all four year old classes is needed,” stated department chair¬ man Mrs. Audrey Burnett.

The drama was led by Mr. Roy Maiden, while Mr. William Propst and Mr. Gregory Quesen- berry constituted the faculty of the music department. The art depart¬ ment was composed of Mrs. Lyn- dall Mason, Mrs. Edna Love, and Mrs. Martha Ireson. Many cultural and aesthetic ex¬ periences were presented by this department this year. The drama section was the host school for the Virginia Theatre Conference and received a superior rating. They performed a play called “Comings and Goings.” The band, directed by Mr. Propst, played at all football games, pep rallies, and had marching competitions at Chilhowie Apple Festival, Old Do¬ minion Band Classic, and Lynchburg Classic. The choirs, directed by Mr. Quesenberry, staged concerts, went caroling to local shut-ins at Christmas and per¬ formed for various civic groups. They also traveled to Atlanta, Georgia in April to compete in the Six Flags Over Georgia Choral Festival. Art IV class had an ex¬ tended class for two hours, and studied works of local artists as well as special exhibits. Students’ art work was shown at several local and regional festivals and espe¬ cially in the new Fine Arts Center. FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT MRS. MARTHA C. IRESON Radford College; B.S.; M.S.; Art. MRS.

Foreign Language Students Make Good “iQue’pasa?” “Was ist los?” “Qu’ est-ce qui est arrive?” No mat¬ ter how they said it, “What’s hap¬ pening?” was a part of Pulaski County High School students’ vocabulary. Students were encouraged to study languages in order to develop an understanding of other nations, their culture and customs. The study of languages was stressed as a basic means of bringing nations closer together, both in un¬ derstanding and friendship. Classes were assisted by the use of prerecorded tapes containing dialogues and exercises spoken by native instructors. Grammar was reinforced daily in conversation and reading. Students new to the foreign languages showed their in¬ eptness in the beginning, but with time, their knowledge had greatly improved. More advanced students enjoyed the privilege of studying the culture and sampling the food of the country. Courses were offered in French, German, and Spanish. The Foreign Language Department was aided this year by Mr. Howard Mack. Along with his English classes, Mr. Mack taught one period of Spanish. The Instructional Materials Cen¬ ter (I.M.C.) was a regular part of everyday life at P.C.H.S. Throughout their high school years, students used the I.M.C. for a quiet place to study (even with all the noise in the locker banks) or to work on reports, speeches, term papers, and other class projects. The head librarian, Mrs. Eleanor Hullinger, ordered and was respon¬ sible for all books. Mrs. Elinor Morgan was the head of the audio¬ visual division of the I.M.C. She or¬ dered the periodicals and the audio-visual materials. She also was in charge of the vertical file system. The biggest addition to the I.M.C. this year was the new detection device. It proved to be a valuable security system. A structure made of wood, the equipment was un¬ usual but effective. The librarians were proud to say that they had been able to check out many more books — 800 more than last year as of October. Occasionally, however, students Library aide Mrs. Harriet Berry and Math pod aide Mrs. Lois Southern confer near the I.M.C. who had checked out books and had them properly desensitized were embarrassed to learn that the apparatus might also be set off by heavy zippers, ring binder notebooks, or belt buckles. 176 Instructional Materials Center (LEFT) Mrs. Eleanor Hullinger shows Sabrina Alley a convenient way to select a future career.

A variety of courses taught by a capable and dedicated staff, offered ample op¬ portunity for the non-academic and academic students to be enrolled in appropriate classes. Miss Emma Gallimore served as chairperson of the math depart¬ ment this year. Ten of the twelve member staff attended Radford College or V.P.I. S.U. and in some cases both. All twelve held Bachelor’s degrees and three held Master’s degrees. A great number of students en¬ tered the math pod daily and so the department offered a wide variety of classes. In an attempt to meet everyone’s needs, they taught sub¬ jects ranging from Math 9 to Calculus for college-bound stu¬ dents. One year of math was re¬ quired at the ninth grade level. All members of the department were concerned with the total program. They used a variety of instructional activities including puzzles, designs, and models. 178 Math Department Calculus students Brian Stovall, Bill McKinney, and Leslie Hodges get help from Mr. Shelton.

In addition, advanced physical education was offered to those athletes who participated in extra-curricular sports and to other upper-classmen. Physical educa¬ tion and health classes were taught on alternating weeks during the winter months. At this time sophomores were given classroom instruction in driver training. Physical education classes met daily in the fall and spring. Basic fundamentals in various sports were given along with in¬ struction in health care and first aid. All students enrolled in physical education took part in the President’s Physical Fitness Test twice a year in the fall and spring. Those who qualified received the President’s Physical Fitness Patch. In addition to physical education classes, students could participate in intramurals. A variety of ac¬ tivities were offered such as field hockey, volleyball, and one-on-one basketball. After school activities gave students the chance to take a more active role in sports. All physical education teachers were actively engaged in the coaching of interscholastic sports. The teachers endeavored to help meet the physical, emotional and social needs of the youth of P.C.H.S. Mr. Jim Chapman was chairman of the Physical Educa¬ tion Department. This year physical education stu¬ dents could choose their sport or activity each nine weeks. These mini courses ranged from dancing to weight lifting. Most students found their classes to be more in¬ teresting since they were co¬ educational.

Physical Education Department 181 Goals in Science Directed to the Individual Student New biology teacher, Mrs. Harriet Keister, makes a last minute check of an assignment. Science classes at Pulaski County High varied. These classes ranged from Earth Science to Chemistry and Physics but they mainly involved the same theory: “a discovery of the earth as a dynamic planet in an incredible universe.” In all these courses, the teachers strove to help. In each science classroom, the students learned to ‘‘think, inquire, discover, and interpret data” for themselves. The classes “challenged each student to evaluate information in terms of scientific truths and attempt to solve problems based on facts.” Science teachers helped the stu¬ dents to acknowledge that science had to be based on facts — not on theory alone. Each science teacher felt their responsibilities expanded beyond the ‘‘teacher-student” standpoint. These responsibilities included “teacher-citizen” views. Science teachers tried to challenge each student to develop his unique talents to become a useful, happy citizen. Science also helped a stu¬ dent to discover himself as the most important (and impressive) part of creation. Science teachers wanted all students to realize the earth is for our own use and enjoy¬ ment and not our abuse.

It offered a variety of opportunities for the high school student. After two years of Agricultural Science and Mechanics the student could choose to enroll in Agricultural Production, Ornamental Hor¬ ticulture, or Agricultural Business. Some students in the tenth grade enrolled in Ornamental Hor¬ ticulture III, an introduction to hor- ticulture, instead of taking Agricultural Science and Mechanics. Mr. C. D. Dishon started off the 78-79 school year in his regular job as head of the Agriculture Depart¬ ment. He was ably assisted by Mr. Mike Cox who taught agriculture and Mrs. Elissa Steeves who was the instructor in Ornamental Hor¬ ticulture. The second semester began with a new arrival. Mr. Wythe Morris replaced Mr. Richard Hylton and taught first and second year Agriculture. Farming techniques were one of the main aspects of study. A thorough knowledge of these techniques was accomplished by rotating classroom and shop ex¬ periences. In the classroom stu¬ dents learned such things as soil analysis and farming methods while woodwork and welding were taught in the shop. The Industrial Arts program con¬ sisted of two main areas of study, construction and communication. Students learned what kind of jobs there were, what people do, how each worker contributed to the economic system and how labor and management related. In the world of communications they were provided with occupational in¬ formation and instruction and practical laboratory experiences to familiarize them with jobs available, skills needed, and levels of work responsibility in the com¬ munications and media careers.

Students could enroll in business education courses on the ninth or tenth grade levels. Business Exploration and General Business were available to all stu¬ dents. Typing for personal or vocational use was offered to those who were interested. Vocational business classes such as stenography, accounting and business law were offered to stu¬ dents who wished to have specialized training for employ¬ ment or to pursue a career in the business world. Work experience was provided through the C.O.E. program for students preparing for employment in office positions, and provisions were made for help¬ ing in the placement of graduates. The Business Department, con¬ sisting of eight teachers, was chaired by Mrs. Billie Farmer. Ap¬ proximately 600 students par¬ ticipated in business education classes this year. Classroom work was related to on-the-job ex¬ periences and efforts were made to develop students’ work habits and attitudes. Training was provided for applying for and being interviewed for prospective employment. Much cooperation was given by the business teachers in typing and duplicating materials, programs and memos for other departments as well as for the entire student body. The Business Department provided students opportunities to develop skills in typing, shorthand, and filing for personal and business uses.

With the opening of the 78-79 school year the Special Education Department had already begun to plan lessons and events. Mrs. Lois Neblett taught science and social studies while Mrs. Nydia Meredith was the instructor in English and math. Mr. Bob Whytal, department chairman, worked closely with stu¬ dents and aided them with in¬ dividualized instruction. Mr. Whytal operated what he termed a “resource room,” where he could help the students in any of their problem areas. The third section was taught by Mrs. Kathryn Pollard in what she called “the learning lab.” The main objectives of the department were to give the stu¬ dents practical skills in language and math and to teach them how to cope with life in the outside world. In the Home Economics Depart¬ ment, the classes were split into two parts of the school. The Home Living course was found in the commons area classroom and was taught by Mrs. Peggy Hemmings, Mrs. Mary Kelly and Mrs. Nancy Hester. In these classes the stu¬ dents were taught all the aspects of living on their own and raising a family including planning a budget, shopping and a mock wedding. The Food Services Department was located in the vacational building and was taught by Mrs. Betty Jo Smutzer while Child Care was in¬ structed by Mrs. Debbie Griffith and Mrs. Kelly. Food Services served breakfast three times a week and prepared and served lunches in the Cougar Den during second semester.

Home Economics 191 Vocational Trades and Industries Give The Trades and Industrial Educa¬ tion program included eleven dif¬ ferent career fields and involved students in grades 9-12. The areas offered were cosmetology, auto body, auto mechanics, electronics, electricity, drafting, practical nurs¬ ing, building maintenance mechanics, service occupations, printing, and I.C.T. The programs were designed to provide students with job entry skills and or to prepare the individual for advanced preparation in his field of interest. A variety of teaching methods in both the classroom and in the laboratory were employed. Because of the emphasis on skill development in these courses, much time was spent in actual or simulated work and career ex¬ periences. Whether interested in styling hair, repairing an automobile, building or wiring a house, drawing plans for buildings and machines, aiding the sick, or preparing and serv ing food, a student could fulfill his needs in the Trade and In¬ dustrial Education program at P.C.H.S. Oftentimes, they applied these skills to benefit faculty mem¬ bers and other area residents who brought their hair, cars, lawnmowers and rototillers for at¬ tention. Many students, through the practical training received this year, gained positions at local in¬ dustries and organizations. (ABOVE) To get the exact angle, Mark McGlothlin uses a rule.

Students Job Entry Trades and Industries Department 193 Viers and Loftus Direct Departments The Work Study program at Pulaski County High School was basically designed to give the stu¬ dents an opportunity to be exposed to and gain some experience from actual work. While working, the stu¬ dents not only received a salary but also received credit at school. The program had three different divisions, each with its own specific, yet related, purpose. The Distributive Education classes sent students out to work for dis¬ tributors of goods. The Industrial Cooperative Training classes sent students to work in factories all over the county to help with the manufacturing of products. Par¬ ticipants in the third division, In¬ dividualized Work Experience, worked here at Pulaski County High School. These students assisted in keeping the cafeteria running smoothly and kept the en¬ tire school and its grounds looking their best. The students in the third program also received wages for their efforts. With the experienced help of Mr. Gettys, Mr. McCoy, Miss Lawson (Industrial Cooperative Training teachers) and Mr. Don Smith (In¬ dividualized Work Experience teacher) the three programs suc¬ cessfully worked together toward the basic idea of a valid work ex¬ perience and classroom credit. Driver’s Education had another prospering year. With approx¬ imately four hundred students par¬ ticipating in the behind-the-wheel portion, Mr. Harry Loftus, Mr. Allen Wiley, and Mr. David Wright ob¬ viously had their work cut out for them. Driver’s Education consisted of two divisions with thirty-six hours of in-class instruction and seven hours of actual in-car instruction. Behind-the-wheel was offered six periods daily throughout the school year allowing the maximum number of students to maintain a thorough background in all facets of driving. Each student par¬ ticipated in five hours of driving on the range and finally received two hours of open-road driving instruc¬ tion. With both the in-class and in- car programs passed, many new and capable drivers left Pulaski County High School during 1978- 79.

SCA Sponsors Beauty Pageant, Homecoming The Student Cooperative Association of Pulaski County High School represented the student body and served as a mediator be¬ tween students and the faculty. The S.C.A. was made up of first period representatives, the presidents of clubs and classes, and the student body. Keeping good relations between the student body and the faculty was one of the main goals of the S.C.A., but the group had many other activities to keep them busy. The S.C.A. was responsible for con¬ ducting tours for the up-coming ninth graders and for working with the class officer elections. In the fall the S.C.A. sponsored the Miss P.C.H.S. Beauty Pageant, Homecoming and served as guides for the Future Teachers of America from Giles High School. The Beauty Pageant, held September 16, had 129 contestants, and encompassed the theme ‘‘There Is Nothing Like A Dame.” Judges Mrs. Peggy Arnold, Mr. Joe Reed, and Mrs. Laura White selected Priscilla Holmes as Miss P.C.H.S. of 1978-79. The Homecoming Dance was held September 23 with the theme ‘‘Tonight’s the Night.” “Chess” played as the students and their dates danced. Before Christmas the S.C.A. sponsored a Christmas Basket Drive to raise money for the Salva¬ tion Army to help needy families in the county. On February 10, “Casper” played for the Winter For¬ mal Dance. Elections were held in the spring to select officers for the 1979-80 school year. Tina Phillips and Chuck Pound were assigned to Mr. John New¬ berry, the S.C.A. sponsor, first period for an S.C.A. “class.” They performed many clerical duties fulfilling S.C.A. directives.

The Honor 200 National Honor Society National Honor Society Members Send Christmas Presents to Needy Families The National Honor Society was a club formed specifically to create and maintain enthusiasm for leadership, service, c haracter and scholarship. One of the main goals was to alleviate student apathy. They accomplished that by providing an area for students to strive to meet their potential. As a requirement for mem¬ bership one had to have a scholastic average of 3.5 and beap- proved by the faculty on character, leadership and service. One had to be invited to become a member. To I remain in the club a member had to maintain these standings throughout his entire junior and senior years. Activities included selling con- ii Society ran the concession stand at several or basketball games as a fund raising project. cessions at basketball games and co-sponsoring a talent show in the spring. These activities were direct¬ ed towards making money so ser¬ vices such as a tea for the honor roll students in the spring, sending Christmas presents to two needy families, a reception forthe former graduates after the Homecoming game, and exchanging officers with Radford High School in the spring could be carried out. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Evelyn Tate, Mrs. Edna Kennedy, and Mrs. Carol Hurst, the N.H.S. helped the S.C.A. direct the annual talent show. Many outstanding per¬ formances were presented for an evening of entertainment as stu¬ dents competed for prizes.

National Honor Society 201 ‘ ' Advisor Fizer” Leads Cougar Pinnacle The staff of the 1979 Cougar Pin¬ nacle was led by a new sponsor who began her duties in the summer of 1978 by securing yearbook ads from local patrons. Mrs. Virginia Fizer found the job of head sponsor of the Pinnacle a challenging task, but a rewarding one as the pages of the annual began to return from the press of the Delmar Publishing studios. Struggling to meet eighty-eight page deadlines in a two week period, the staff worked first and sixth periods during school and long hours at nights. Holiday vaca¬ tions for a few dedicated staff members and faculty advisors were sacrificed to arrange the photos, literature, and technical aspects that would become the pages of the Cougar Pinnacle 79. Mr. Gregory M. Quesenberry and Mr. John Newberry gathered and edited original copy and captions written by staff members, and wrote additional copy to fill the pages of the yearbook. Valuable assistance was given by Miss Suzanne Steele in correcting gram¬ mar and proofreading. With the help of Mr. Garfield Ramsey of Ramsey’s Studio, Mr. John Duncan, Tom Haller and Monica Hoel served as photographers and completely processed the complex ventures of film developing of the hundreds of photos throughout the yearbook. Once the photographs and copy were produced, Mark Harris and Dane Peake, co-editors, began the complicated job of layouts, fitting the copy, captions, names, and photographs onto an attractive design complying with the rules and regulations set forth by the Virginia and National High School Leagues. Each picture had to be cropped to proportion and then captions written to fill each space. Mrs. Virginia Fizer not only supervised and arranged under¬ classmen pictures, but also decided the arrangement of the sections in the book and supervised the long hours of work done to meet each deadline. Mrs. Majella Myers and Liz Myers were typists for the Pinnacle and occasionally served as waitresses” when the staff sent out to McDonald ' s or Dairy Queen for dinner or a snack. Liz, along with Mark Poore, spent many hours in the summer and early fall securing ads. Renee Wiley tried her skills at many of the jobs and typed, filed, wrote captions and just about anything else where needed. Jean Casteele also helped fill in the un¬ raveled tasks and made sure each page was in perfect order and in its appropriate envelope ready to be sent to press. Occasionally, the opinion of for¬ mer sponsor, Miss Patsy King, would be needed. Her experience with the yearbook in the past was a great help. Cindi Farmer, Mary Cregger, Ken Kimbrough, Sara McMullin and Melinda Williams arranged photos and quad-packed the fruits of the staff’s labor. When the last pages of the Cougar Pinnacle were sent to press, the staff chalked up a victory and celebrated with a staff party. The work was tedious and hard, but it paid off when the Cougar Pin¬ nacle 79 was at last complete. Co-editor Mark Harris discusses the general layout design with Majella Myers.

Within its forty pages samples of student’s finest creations appeared. From September through the month of January English teachers encouraged students to submit contributions. Sketches, drawings, photographs, reviews, short stories, poems and interviews were used. Limitations were non¬ existent with the exceptions that only black and white photographs could be used and short stories could contain not more than 1000 words. Becky Shumate headed the forty volunteer students from all grade levels that served on the staff. Over three-fourths of the members had been on the staff before. School colors decorated the magazine’s cover. The school printing shop published Inklings. Members of the staff worked the concession stand at basketball games to help pay for the cost of printing.

For the first four years of the paper’s ex¬ istence Mrs. Elaine Jackson was the sponsor. This year she stepped down and Mr. Eugene Cram took over. One of Mr. Cram’s first duties was to select his staff from the journalism students. He chose Valerie Tolliver to be his editor-in- chief, and she did an excellent job in preparing the issues. The remainder of the staff was all very willing and qualified to perform their duties, thus making the paper a success. Changing the name of the paper was the first order of business. Suggestions were taken from the student body as well as from the newspaper staff. The name chosen to replace The Cougar Din was The Cougar Prowler. With a new name, staff, and sponsor the newspaper was underway for the 1978-79 year. Before actual distribution of the paper could begin, the staff mem¬ bers conducted an advertising drive to support the paper. Many area businesses purchased ads. The first issue was a milestone for the staff. Two major events were successfully covered, Homecoming and the Miss Pulaski County High School Beauty Pageant. Sports were also a very important part of the paper. Each sport received equal coverage in all possible instances. At Christmas and Valentine’s the staff sold greetings to students and teachers for ten cents a word. Honor roll was taken each quarter and the stu¬ dents who qualified were able to read their names in the Prowler. An issue in honor of the “Class of ’79’’ was perhaps one of the most memorable. Baby pictures and the class were the most popular features. Layout and paste-up occupy much of Michelle Burnett and the Cougar Prowler staff ' s time as they prepare the school newspaper for press. Four hands seem necessary to staff member Susan Shelor as she is assisted by Shelia Hall.Tim Alley casually observes, but refuses to get involved. Cougar Prowler 207 Practice Makes Perfect; Forensics Club Stresses Public Speaking, Poetry “Tripping lightly on the tongue’’ could have been the motto of the Forensics Club. Many of their monthly meetings were directed toward improving public speaking and helping the students to feel at ease in front of an audience. The students often discovered that the old adage, “Practice makes per¬ fect” was easier said than done. Categories, including both boys’ and girls’ public speaking, prose and poetry, could be entered on the school level. Winners then went to district competitions and if they received first place there, they could compete at regional and even state. The school winners were Tal Stanley — Boy’s Extem¬ poraneous Speaking, Bobby Hickman — Boy ' s Prose, Marie Reid — Girl’s Prose, Teresa Johnson — Girl’s Poetry and Philip Crigger — Spelling. The District Forensics competition was held in February at William Fleming High School in Roanoke while regional and state were held in March.

Each stu¬ dent had to play scales and a prepared piece of music and sight read a piece selected by Mr. Propst. Musicians with the highest scores were placed in Symphonic band. Symphonic band performed Christmas, winter, and spring con¬ certs. These concerts featured a number of selections which were also performed at the District Band Festival on March 10. January 25 was a special day for the members of Symphonic band. The band was chosen as the demonstration band for the “Clinic for Band Directors on Festival Preparation.’’ This clinic was con¬ ducted by Dr. Bennett Lentczner of Radford College. Symphonic band attended a con¬ cert festival for competition in the spring. Also, thirteen members of this band were named to All- Regional Band.

After football season ended, the excitement and flare of the Marching Band changed settings from the football field to the Con¬ cert Stage. Many who participated in the marching season were also members of the Concert Band. During the winter months Con¬ cert Band, consisting of eighty- eight students, worked hard to prepare new music for Christmas and Spring Concerts. On December 18, the Concert Band played Christmas music by giving a con¬ cert for the public. This band presented a program of five carols including, ‘‘The Christmas Suite,” ‘‘The Christmas Party,” “Green- sleeves,” “Yea, the Heavenly Child is Born,” and “Christmas Carols In Concert.” On March 10 the Concert Band participated in the District VII Band Festival playing grades III and IV music. These selections included, “Land of the Vikings,” “Second American Folk Rhapsody,” and “The Cascadian March.” Concert Band also played Spring and Winter Concerts for the public and students. Four members of this band, Chris Palmer, Stephanie Cox, David Alley and Scott Grantham, were named to the All Regional Band. FLAG CORPS: (FRONT) Captain Faith Gibson.

Band 213 Seventeen Named to All-Regional Band — Stage Band Performs Rock, Jazz, and Pop All-Regional Band auditions were held December 9, 1978, at Abingdon High School. Twenty-five students attended the Senior High All-Regional Band tryouts, but only seventeen made the bands. Several students from Dublin and Pulaski Middle Schools accom¬ panied the high school students for the Junior High All-Regional audi¬ tions. Mr. Walter Dobyns, Mr. Mack Williams, and Mr. William Propst were also there giving the students encouragement to do their best. Students that were selected for All-Regional Bands went to Abingdon the first weekend of February 1979. After practicing all weekend, the bands performed for the public at John Battle High School. Directors for the three-day affair were Mr. Howard Nicar who directed the Symphonic band, Mr. Charles Campbell, Concert band director, and Mr. Sonny Strohm who was in charge of the junior high band.

In keeping with tradition, members met daily during third period and practiced a variety of music for various engagements. Some of the practic¬ ing was put to the test during November when choir members auditioned for Junior and Senior High All Regional Chorus. Junior High tryouts were held November 4 in Bristol and nineteen P.C.H.S. stu¬ dents were selected to participate in the regional chorus held in April at Richlands Middle School. The following weekend Senior High tryouts were held at Mountain Mis¬ sion in Grundy and twenty-nine ad¬ ditional students were nominated to attend the chorus held in February at Abingdon High School. With the pressures of regionals behind, choir members began practicing for the annual Christmas concert where they per¬ formed five selections as well as several others with Mixed and Girls’ choirs. This year’s mini-musical or “playlette”, as it came to be known, was written by Kym ' Davidson who was assisted by Becky Shumate, Jim Gloster, Mark Harris and Dane Peake. It included all Concert Choir members as elves with the excep¬ tion of two who portrayed Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus. The highlight of theyear came in April as Concert Choir members traveled to Atlanta, Georgia, to compete in the Six Flags Over Georgia Choral Competition. They were judged on three prepared selections one of which was a cap- pella. Students held concerts, sold magazines, sponsored sock-hops and did practically anything to raise the money to make the trip.

A Choir 217 Choruses Perform in Christmas Concert Although composed of students with less experience in singing, the Girls’ and Mixed Choirs proved to be very successful this year. Anyone wishing to learn more about vocal techniques, tone production and choral literature or anyone just interested in singing for the “fun of it” was eligible to participate in these choirs. More students than ever before decided to take part in Girls’ or Mixed Choirs in 1978-79, helpingto give a fuller, richer sound to each group. Each choir took part in both the Christmas and Spring Concerts and some members auditioned for Regional Choruses. They also helped with the annual magazine sales, adding much needed revenue to the choral department budget. At the end of the year these stu¬ dents could audition for Concert Choir. Because of the limited num¬ ber of spaces available, few were taken into Concert Choir but with a ' year’s training in Girls’ or Mixed Choir there were those who did find themselves in the auditioned choir the next year.

The executive committee was a voice of eleven specific trade areas. Fifteen students were chosen to discuss and make by-laws for the club. Mike Miller served as presi¬ dent for the club for the 1978-79 school year. Other officers were Jeff Warf, vice president, Marilyn Hills, secretary, Charmayne Hall, treasurer, and Lowell Redd, parliamentarian. “Cream the Colonels” started the club out with a winning year when they took first place in the Homecoming float competition.

They met on the fourth Tuesday of each month to plan money-making projects and to decide on activities for the club. Any one who had a home economics class for one year could join this club. Camp for F.H.A. members was held during the summer at Smithfield, Virginia; anyone who was a member could attend. Two members and a sponsor went to F.H.A. camp last year.

Stu¬ dents who took part in this restora¬ tion period were Mark “Sparky” Anderson, president, Freddie Powers, vice president, Gary Hor¬ ton, secretary-treasurer, Mike McKinney, reporter, and Dale Con¬ rad, sponsor. Their purpose was to witness for Christ. A total of nineteen male members put forth their best effort to reorganize and reestablish the organization. They planned to in¬ volve some female athletes in their organization later. Each monthly meeting brought about new and exciting challenges. Guest speakers for their programs often included ministers or laymen who were former athletes. The group members did their part by visiting local churches. The organization planned to send a few of their members to F.C.A. camp this summer in order to create more enthusiasm and to help build up the organization once again. To learn about the grace and the love of God, to show that Christ can make life worth living, and to help the student body become aware of Christ was the goal of the Inter- demoninational Christian Fel¬ lowship club. This club origi¬ nated from the Inter- demoninational Fellowship club of Pulaski High School and the Praise The Lord club of Dublin High School.

Each stu¬ dent researched a particular topic, one relating to science, and prepared a formal report on it. These projects and reports were judged by outside scientists. The main objective of this club was to help students discover and learn more about the amazing world of science. The Science Club was led by Mike McCormick, president, Robbie Lindamood, vice president, Julie Hardy, secretary-treasurer, and Kathy Farmer, reporter. Having won the E.C.L.

Learn New Cheers to Use at Pep Rallies Summer camps, pom pon routines, new cheers, locker stickers and hard practice were all part of being a fall cheerleader. Though the cheerleaders worked toward a fantastic football Homecoming pep rally and game cheers, they also worked hard for the wrestling and gymnastics seasons. To show that there was school spirit and that students were back¬ ing up the teams, cheerleaders made buttons for students to wear. “Claw ’Em Cougars’’ was a favorite. Cheerleader Terri Guynn converses with the Cougar mascot while students fill the auditorium in anticipation of the upcoming pep rally. Dinners were given by the fall squads to recognize the various sports. Hot dogs and hamburgers were served, along with other foods donated by the merchants of Pulaski County. Candy was given to the players during the seasons to “boost” their morales. The sports seasons sped by too fast for the fall Varsity and J.V. cheerleaders. Through hard prac¬ tice and leadership the squads helped cheer the teams to suc¬ cessful seasons. Fall Cheerleaders 251 Varsity Football . . . Hours of Practice Pulaski County’s “Mighty Cougars” opened the 1978 football season with Radford. The game was played at Radford High School amidst a large and rowdy audience consisting of 10,000 people. The Cougars, off to a great start on the opening kickoff, succumbed to the underrated Bobcats by a score of 13-0. The Cougars hit the road again for a trip to Carroll County. The un¬ derdog Cougars displayed their abilities of offense and defense, es¬ pecially in the last minutes of the game. After threatening a last minute score, Carroll County went down in defeat to a stubborn Cougar defense, 13-6. In the first home game of the season, the Cougars hosted the Martinsville Bulldogs. The Cougars capitalized early on mistakes to take a first-half lead with thirteen points. However the Bulldogs rallied to shut down the Cougar of¬ fense and scored twenty points, thus defeating the Cougars 20-13. At Cave Spring the following week the Cougars lost their first district game. Pulaski County’s of¬ fense did not produce any points and the defense was outmanned by a strong and eventually undefeated Knight team. The Cougars were sent home with a 0-42 loss.

The defense per¬ formed superbly as they allowed the Eagles only nineteen points. The offense could not penetrate the Eagle defense, and a chance for victory was fumbled away when the Cougars turned the ball over on the Eagle ' s seven yardline. After an exciting week of homecoming festivities, the Cougars faced and defeated a strong William Fleming ball team. Key interceptions set up two fourth quarter touchdowns, and strong defense kept the Cougars on top. The Cougars met state-ranked Lafayette at the Cougars’ den the next Friday and were decidedly out¬ classed. The Cougars could manage only one third quarter score against Lafayette’s points. Riddled with injuries, the Cougars travelled to Northside to meet the Vikings in their homecoming. This game proved to be the hardest-hitting the Cougars had encountered, and Pulaski County was held back on a final surge with a score of 12-26.

Under the direction of coaches Butch White and Gary Les¬ ter, the team perfected many drills and plays. Much talent and enthu¬ siasm was evident as the season drew near. Competing in the tough Roanoke Valley District, the inex¬ perienced Baby Cougars were out¬ classed in many of the games. Al¬ though ending the season with a 0-7 record the ninth grade team was never really out of any game. Many times, playing above their ca¬ pabilities, they had to be reckoned with in each contest. The season brought a group of young men to¬ gether and helped to teach them to work as a unit for one purpose. Coach Maggie Manning’s volley¬ ball team began pre-season prac¬ tice one week prior to the begin¬ ning of school. Captains Sherry Fisher, Sheila Hall, Sue McMullin and Linda Duncan provided strong leadership for the team. Complet¬ ing the roster were Linda Cochran, Denise Fisher, Rene Harvey, Elaine Jaccard, Beth Jones, Ruth McMullin, and Gina Shelor. Because of their outstanding abilities, Sheila Hall and Sherry Fisher were chosen by their teammates as Most Valuable. The girls had an exciting but disap¬ pointing season as they were win¬ less in 15 matches.

Coach David Wright’s thinclads brought home the 1978 Roanoke Valley District Championship after two years of disappointment. This year, they won a decisive 16-point victory on the Cougar home course. Competitive among themselves, the Cougar runners exhibited depth and experience, never really knowing who the top seven were from week to week. The Cross Country Team completed double workouts every day, rising at 6:30 A.M. for practice and reporting af¬ ter school for yet another workout. Few individuals accepted such a rigorous schedule, but the runners voices little complaint on their way to victory. Richard Noel and Eddie Sayers were the consistent top runners, with Sayers improving vastly all year and turning to precise form in the District Meet by finishing a tough third place, while Noel was second. As the year passed, Mark Cox proved to be third man, with John Huddle, Robbie Lindamood and Joe Marshall juggling back and forth for positions 4, 5, and 6. Tim Bowman, John Smith and David Smith challenged the number seven spot throughout the year with Bowman taking the honors at District. Glenn Pratt appeared more than once in the top seven, while Ken Hall ranked among the champs all fall and was a great boost in spirit and running talent for the team.

Winter Cheerleaders Support Basketball, Baseball, Girls’ Volleyball, Basketball Cheering for the Cross Country and Girls’ Basketball teams added to the cheerleading dimension this year for the winter cheerleaders. Although they were designated “winter, the cheerleaders were kept busy all year round. For most, the year began with summer camp in Boone, North Carolina. Much sweat and hard work went into the preparation for camp, but it paid off. Both squads received spirit awards and ex¬ cellent ratings with the Varsity go¬ ing on to receive a third place out of the twenty-seven groups that competed. Next, the cheerleaders prepared and perfected a pom pon routine to perform for the Homecoming pep rally. Both squads, J.V. and Varsity, participated, but the girls involved in fall sports were excused. The Varsity squad went to all basketball games except Northfolk, West Virginia, when conditions beyond their control prevented their going. Due to inclement weather, they also missed the games at Northside and Franklin County. The J.V. squad accom¬ panied the Varsity to two away games. The squads learned many new cheers and chants at camp en¬ abling them to show school spirit and get others involved. The spring sports received support from both squads. Although cheerleaders had found no way to cheer for baseball, they were there to show support and interest. Winter Cheerleaders 263 Before basketball season began, the news media issued predictions for the outcome of various dis¬ tricts. Pulaski County Cougars were rated last in the Roanoke Valley District by most all predic¬ tors. By the end of the season, the Varsity Cougars had shown all media to be wrong by placing a triumphant fourth. This defying of predictions came about through the efforts of several players who contributed to the winning effort of the Cougar Cagers. The 1978-79 Cougar basketball season started with the initial win over the Radford High School Bob¬ cats. By mid-season Roy Flynn, David Webb, Daniel Brown, Gary Clark, and Chris Lambert became regular starters. The team came to depend upon the great offensive shooting and defensive guarding of these players. Throughout the season the Cougar cagers had many wins. William Fleming, George Wythe, Northside, Salem, and Northfork, West Virginia, were just a few that were very important because of rivalries. A give-and-take battle started with Cave Spring and the Cougars were once again face to face against them in the first round at the Roanoke Valley Tournament. The Cougars closed outthe Knights 72-56. This game was dedicated to the memory of Mark Gray and the players wore black ribbons to sym¬ bolize their sorrow of the loss of this former player. Gray died in an auto crash which took the lives of two other P.C.H.S. alumni on February 17, 1979. Photo Courtesy of New River Newspapers Airborne Harvey Black shoots over G.W. ' s Clarey.

With a half¬ time score of 30-17, the Cougars tried to close the gap in the third quarter with a full court defensive press. After a very tough fourth quarter, Franklin County pulled ahead to win the game 80-66. The Franklin County game end¬ ed the season for the Cougars with a record of 10-12 and a regular season standingof 9-11. To have been the smallest AAA team in Virginia, the Cougars had a great season. The team’s enthusiasm and effort made maximum use of the zone defense and full court press. Roy Flynn ended his high school career with 587 total points. He was named “Player of the Year” in the Virginia Highlands. Although Jeff Harvey was just introduced to the game this year, he was a valuable player throughout the season. Mark Hanks and Eddie Morrison used their talents to help their fellow senior players.

Though both teams had a losing record, their losses were painful as most games were lost by just one or two points. The Junior Varsity team was coached by Mr. Wayne Smith and assisted by Mr. Eddie Smith. The J.V. Cougars played before the var¬ sity games; therefore they played a total of twenty games. The team was led in scoring by sophomores Danny Connor and Larry Chrisley. They averaged fourteen and seven points a game, respectively. Much help and depth was given by other players in an effort to win every game. This effort ended in very close, exciting games. The ninth grade basketball team was a fast and scrappy one. It was coached by Mr. Butch White. They played a total of thirteen games, with the leading scorer being Joe Blankenship. He averaged thirteen points a game. Though height was lacking, their rebounding and steals were exceptional. Much talent was seen on these two teams. Leadership and togetherness were prevalent. Many of the players on both teams were looking forward to playing on the Varsity and Junior Varsity basket¬ ball teams in the future.

Cougar Wrestlers Enjoy Most Successful Season Ever; Six Go To Regional Matches 1978-79 was a year of success for the Cougar matmen. Like any success, it came by work .. . and work . . . and work. Many of the members lifted weights and attend¬ ed clinics during the off-season. But the team was not alone. There was a large following of family members, friends, and ad¬ ministration supporting the team every step of the way. The pay-off was the most suc¬ cessful season ever enjoyed by a Cougar wrestling team. Led by co¬ captains Gary Lorton and Gary Hor¬ ton, the team recorded a record eight wins. Over forty individual and team records were broken. The matmen prepared well for the wrestling season. There were months of gruelling, merciless treatment needed to strengthen the grappler to the peak of physical conditioning. The result was a highly competitive team for all op¬ ponents to face, with the season being highlighted by successfully defending the championship of the Christiansburg Christmas Tourna¬ ment. Freshman Butch Childress became the first Cougar matman to win a district championship. He represented the Roanoke Valley District and Pulaski County at the 98-pound weight class. He placed third in the regional tournament and became the first Cougar wrestler to qualify for the state tournament. Gary Lorton, Bobby Viers, Gary Horton, J.T. Brown and Steve Hayes all travelled to the regional tournament giving the Cougars its best showing yet. The future for the Cougars looked very bright. Under the leadership of Coach Mack, the Cougar B-team gained much ex¬ perience and acquired many skills. Many B-team members had out¬ standing success as they prepared themselves for competing on next year’s squad. All team members contributed to the team’s success. Leading the team in points scored was Butch Childress; Steve Hayes led the team in pins; most reversals was recorded by Nelson Stephens. Co¬ captains Gary Lorton and Gary Hor¬ ton helped create a new era for Cougar wrestlers. A new sense of pride and success was established. During a pot luck banquet held for the wrestlers and their parents in March, awards were presented to Butch Childress, Most Valuable and Most Team Points, and Gary Lor¬ ton, Most Improved.

Sandy Lyons also placed first in uneven parallel bars, second in floor exercise and vaulting, and third on balance beam. Fellow sophomore Amy Car¬ den, with a great handspring vault, captured first place in the vaulting event. Freshman Robyn Walker took second place on the balance beam, senior Adlyn Hicks second on uneven parallel bars, and freshman Becky Perdue third on balance beam and floor exercise.

Lady Cougars Host Profitable District Meet as Gymnasts Advance to Regionals On January 17, the Gymnastics team had yet another win, over Northside. The team placed one competitor in every event. Marian Anderson again took top honors on the balance beam and floor exer¬ cise. Adlyn Hicks turned in a second on uneven parallel bars. Gayle Farlow, one of the top vaulters, placed third in that event while Amy Carden added a third place in floor exercise. Sandy Lyons captured a third place on bars, and a strong finish by Susan Neighbors brought her a third place on the balance beam. Against Franklin County, the girls proved they were an excep¬ tional team. This was the fourth win of the season; the only loss suf¬ fered by the team was against a very strong Cave Spring. The District Gymnastics Cham¬ pionship held in the Cougar gym, proved to be profitable for the Lady Cougars. They came in second behind a tough Cave Spring. Three girls went to the regional meet, Marian Anderson, Sandy Lyons, and Adlyn Hicks. From regionals the only girls to compete in state competition was Sandy Lyons.

Gymnastics 275 Indoor Track Team Sets Personal Records; Girls’ Basketball Moves to Winter Season The Cougar Indoor Track Team, composed of only eleven members, performed well throughout the win¬ ter season. They kicked off the season travelling to Lynchburg for the tenth annual Indoor Christmas Invitational Track Meet. The Cougar runners performed well and set their own personal bests in each of their events. The Heritage Invitational, also held at Lynchburg, came as the next meet of the winter season. Mark Cox, Joe Marshall, Richard Noel, and Eddie Sayers each placed in their respective categories help¬ ing to gain points for the Cougars. Next, in the Heritage Relays, the trackmen placed third in the dis¬ tance medley and fifth in the four mile relay. The District meet highlighted the season as the team trained to peak specifically for this encounter. En¬ tering only five events, they placed at least two people in four out of the five events. Glenn Pratt and Curtis Trail placed and advanced to regional competition. In the mile run, Richard Noel and Mark Cox (ABOVE) INDOOR TRACK: (FRONT ROW) Ken Hall.

Joe Marshall notched his first Dis¬ trict Championship in his career in the 1000 yard run. In the two mile event, Richard Noel and Robbie Lindamood placed first and fifth, also advancing to the Regionals. The mile relay team placed second with a new indoor record of 3:45. In the Regional Championships, the Cougars ran well but only Noel came away with two places — second in the two mile run and fifth in the mile, taking him to the state meet. Noel ran to a new school and personal best time of 9:39.9 in the two mile run. The Girls’ Basketball team, com¬ posed of fourteen members, prac¬ ticed diligently under the direction of a new coach during the 1978-79 season. Mrs. Jane Lookabill took over coaching duties as a change in Virginia High School League rules moved girls ' basketball from fall to winter. Even though the Lady Cougars never picked up a win, several Tommy Mason.

In the second contest of the season, Franklin County defeated the Cougars by converting six free throws in the fourth quarter after making only one in the whole first half. In the third game of the season, Tina Phillips broke her own scoring record for most points in a game by scoring thirty points. Her previous record was twenty-nine points. The final score of the District Tourna¬ ment game with Patrick Henry did not give the Lady Cougars justice. The Cougars had a one point lead at halftime but fell to the Patriots in the second half. After the season ended, a ban¬ quet was held at Bonanza Steak House to honor the players and their parents. Several weeks before, the team had voted for such awards as Most Valuable, Most Improved, and Sports¬ manship, Tina Phillips received Most Valuable Player, Dana Dun¬ can was voted Most Improved, and Ginny McCoy was given the Sportsmanship award. 276 Indoor Track GIRLS ' BASKETBALL: (FRONT ROW) Angie Parris, Sue Spivey, Dana Duncan, Tina Phillips, Kim Church, Stephanie Peters.

Richard Noel, Eddie Sayers and Mark Cox led the dis¬ tance runners in the mile and two- mile at the Roanoke Valley District Track Meet. Other distance runners who performed well this season were Joe Marshall, David Smith, Tommy Mason, Mark Russell, and Robbie Lindamood. Middle distance runners were Joe Marshall, Chuck Pound, Glenn Pratt, Ken Hall, Johnny Smith and Robert Brown, who frequently placed in the top three berths in district meets. Brad Wilson again led the shot and discus men, along with Ron Bevins, Keith Sidwell and Joe Covey. Pulaski County was again lacking in depth in the sprints. Rob McClellan and Blake Farlow ran the 440 and the 220 for the Cougars. The lack of depth led the Cougars to forfeit many of the sprints in their meets. Glenn Pratt high jumped and Blake Farlow pole-vaulted to round off the field events. Many young runners were in training and showed much promise for the team in the future.

Boys’ Track 279 Girls’ Track Team Pursues Winning Form Reassembles ‘P.C. Express’ in Practice How does it feel to run outside in shorts when the temperature is forty-five degrees? One could have asked any member of the girls’ track team and she would have answered the question. The girls ' trackteam, also known as The P.C. Express, began prac¬ tice in late February. Dodging piles of snow and mud, they began con¬ ditioning for a very tough and com¬ petitive season. The “Express” had a large turn¬ out of freshmen. Much of the season’s success depended on how these girls progressed and how much depth was added to the team by upper class members. There were only two home track meets: one a double meet with William Fleming and Northside and the other with Salem. Away track meets were on the majority as the team travelled to many schools in the district. The Roanoke Relays were the first invitational meets the girls attended. After the relays they traveled to Northside, Salem, and then to Victory Stadium for a dou¬ ble meet with Patrick Henry and William Fleming. Tough competi¬ tion was seen at the district meet held May 4, in Salem. Eleven track- sters advanced to the Regionals. Coach Louisa Chrisley stated that much of the season’s success was due to the hard work of the team. If one had watched the girls practice, he would surely have said that their season was a success. Overcome by an exhausting practice, Tammy Gray enjoys the spring sun and a few moments alone. For those who choose to compete, the joy of a skill well-learned is suf¬ ficient reward.

The championship was the result of a 9-5 victory over the Salem Spartans. The victory left the Cougars with 17-4 record and a trip to Lynchburg to play Heritage in the first round of the Northwest regionals. Throughout the 1978 season the young Cougars of coaches Wally Flinchum and Mike Rolen were led by five outstanding seniors, all of whom received at least honorable mention on the Roanoke Valley Dis¬ trict team. These five players were pitcher Wayne King, pitcher- outfielder Terry Tolbert, catcher Kevin Sidwell, outfielder Bobby Lor- ton, and first baseman David Aider- man.

Rookies Add Depth, Balance, Continuity As the 1979 season opened, the young Cougars had several bright spots as they returned all-district shortstop Gary Flinchum, third baseman David Harrell, and second-team all district Doug Dunavant. In addition, the Cougars welcomed back senior pitcher Gary Proco who returned following knee surgery as a result of an injury received during the Cougar 5-3 win over the Knights of Cave Spring. The 1979 team featured several newcomers: Malcom Roop, junior outfielder; Danny Evans, senior outfielder; Tim Campbell, sophomore catcher; David Pugh, junior outfielder; Dave McNeil, senior outfielder; Hal Ward, junior pitcher and first baseman; Tim Jones, junior pitcher; Jeff Waddell, junior outfielder; and Perry Reece, junior first baseman. The Cougars also featured three freshman pitchers, as they gained the services of Terry Edwards, Jim Easter, and Jeff Hurd. As the 1979 season approached, the Cougars had their work cut out for them if they were to repeat as R.V.D. Champions and get a chance to avenge their 3-2 regional loss to Heritage.

Tennis Team Challenges Patrick Henry, Cave Spring, Salem for District Title The 1979 Cougar tennis team faced a tough challenge as the season began. Not only did the P.C. netmen have to find replacements for graduated stars Rick O’Dell and John Haughney, but the young Cougars had to fight off illness and injury to several starters. Only one senior was listed on the Cougar’s roster, co-captain Rick Showalter. Showalter and fellow co-captain Rocky Cullop, last year’s most valuable player, gave the Cougars strong leadership on and off the court. Juniors Cullop, Barry Moore, and Larry Thomas, along with sophomores David Yama, Russell Turner, and Jimmy Patterson, joined Showalter to make up the starters for the ’79 tennis team. Sophs Jerry Danner and Butch Watson saw much action for P.C. during the season. Other promising prospects to watch for in the future were R.A. O’Dell, Thomas White, James Peters, and David Alley. Coach John Freeman saw his team perform well throughout the season in the Roanoke Valley Dis¬ trict, and challenge Cave Spring, Patrick Henry, and Salem for the R.V.D. title.

Cougar Linksmen Vie for District Crown; The Cougar golf team took a serious look at the Roanoke Valley Districk Championship in their 1978 season, and in 1979, expecta¬ tions were even higher as they hoped to attain that goal. The linksmen returned a group of ex¬ perienced players to their lineup for the ’79 season. Senior letter- men Tom Haller, Brian Stovall, and Jimmy Smith, along with junior let¬ ter me n Chuck Tickle, Patrick Simpson, and Richard Miller provided a sound reason for the team’s title contention. Non- lettermen who returned to the team were senior Gary Cox and sophomores Bobby Johnston, Ritchie Moore, and Jerry Reed. The golfers also welcomed senior new¬ comer Gary Lorton along with sophomore Gary Pa I lad ini. Last season, the golf team finished the season with a 16-9 overall record. This included the defeat of defending district cham¬ pion Northside, who eventually finished third in the state. For 1979, Coach Butch White’s golf team played a 17-match schedule, including many three-way tourna¬ ments. White felt the team ' s chances for betterment of their previous records was good. The Cougars played all of their home matches at Thorn Spring Golf Club, which was also the site of their daily practice sessions. Last year’s state-bound Chuck Tickle shows ex¬ cellent form on his drive off the firsttee at Thorn Spring.

(RIGHT) Even in a world of scien¬ tific - breakthroughs and political assignations, Donnell Thompson finds time out for a Coke. President Nixon Returns to White House Life in the world outside of P.C.H.S. was also puzzling. One of the most mystifying of all the world ' s events in 1978-79 occurred in a remote section of South America, known as Jonestown, Guyana, where over 900 members of the People’s Temple died in a mass suicide following the orders of their leader, the Reverend Jim Jones. Tragedy also struck in Vatican City with the death of Pope Paul I. Only thirty-five days later, the new Pope suffered a heart attack and also died. He was in turn followed by the first non-Italian Pope in nearly four centuries, Karol Wo- jtyla, a former Polish Cardinal who chose the name John Paul II to honor his predecessor. Breakthroughs in the medical and scientific world came with the birth of a baby in England named Louise Brown. “Baby Louise’’ began her life in a laboratory test tube and came to be known as the first “test tube baby.” Major accomplishments in the complicated maze of world rela¬ tions solved old problems while new trouble spots emerged in other localities. Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachin Begin shared the Nobel Peace Prize for their ef¬ forts to end Middle Eastern Con¬ flicts. Relations between the United States and Mainland China were reopened at the cost of United States relations with Taiwan. Chinese Premiere Teng Hsiao-p’ing traveled to the U.S. on a shopping tour to modernize China. At his re¬ quest, former President Richard Nixon returned to the White House to attend an official state dinner with President Carter. As if to counter these historic peace efforts, wars began in other countries. The Shah of Iran was forced to leave his country after a violent overthrow of his govern¬ ment. After a fifteen year exile, Islamic leader the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned to Iran to head the new government. In the Far East, new tensions arose with Chinese-Vietnam border wars, and talk of World War III began. 312 Epilogue Recognition of Sino-American Pact (LEFT) Tractors of striking farmers converge on Life in the world is puzzling.

Gain Prominence in County, State, Nation Always enigmatic, politics, per¬ formances, and pageants beckoned individuals throughout the state and nation. During the course of events in 1978-79 many Virginians realized their goals and gained prominence in the state and nation. Former Miss Pulaski County, Kylene Barker of nearby Galax, Virginia, was crowned Miss America 1979 and became the first Virginia represen¬ tative to be so honored. New political leaders also emerged and took their positions in government. Following the death of Republican nominee Richard Obenshain, former Navy Secretary John Warner entered the Virginia senatorial race. He went on to defeat Democratic opponent An¬ drew Miller by less than one half of one percent of the votes. National honors were also bestowed on the local chapter of the Future Business Leaders of America which sponsored the an¬ nual March of Dimes Super Walk. They were awarded first prize for contributing the largest sum of money in the nation, more than $23,000, to the March of Dimes. Pulaski County was represented in various areas at state competi¬ tions and festivals by many P.C.H.S. students. Five students, Susan Shelor, Letorius Croslin, Philip Hearn, Wayne Hurst, and Dane Peake, were named to All- Virginia Chorus and constituent Chris Tickle was chosen alternate. The one act play Comings and Go¬ ings received top honors at district and regional competitions and earned a berth in the state one-act festival in Charlottesville. V.I.C.A. electricity members were also recognized at district competition where they placed first in display with their solar water heater. They advanced to state competition and member Eddie Brown won recogni¬ tion for his knowledge and demonstration of house wiring. Other students were dis¬ tinguished due to political interests and attended the Congressional Seminar in Washington, D.C. Those students so honored were Chuck Pound, Cindy Stafford, Jean Casteele, Dana Duncan, Tal Stanley, Gary Cox, and Jamie Orr. Epilogue 315 Interest in Athletics Remains Prominent Sandy Lyons, Butch Childress Make State The sports world was filled with bewilderment and often unex¬ plainable turn-arounds. The Daytona 500 was literally won in the final lap when first and second place holders Cale Yarborough and Donnie Allison engaged in a battle that cost both loss of any place in the race. As their cars skidded and collided, former third place holder Richard Petty drove past the checkered flag and ended a losing streak of over a year and a half. Baseball great Pete Rose nearly ended another streak, the record for successive safe hits in a season. He amassed a total of forty-two which became the second best record in history. Super Bowl XIII set another record with both teams, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys, making their third appearance. Pittsburgh went on to win and become the only team in history to be victorious three times. In tennis, top pro Jimmy Connors lost his position to challenger Bjoun Borg. Locally, the Virginia Tech Gob¬ blers who began the season ranked twenty-first nationally, won the Metro-Conference championship in basketball and advanced to the N.C.A.A. Regional. There they defeated a strong Jacksonville team in the first round. They then played the nation’s number one team, Indiana State, and lost. P.C.H.S. students also came out on top in sporting events. Gym¬ nasts Marian Anderson, Adlyn Hicks, and Sandy Lyons competed at the regional level, and Sandy Lyons advanced to state. Cougar wrestler Butch Childress also qualified to compete at the state level in the ninety-eight pound class. Richard Noel represented the Boys’ Track team in the state-level two-mile competition. 316 Epilogue After having placed in the tough Regional Championship in the ninety- eight pound division, grappler Butch Childress ponders the recently com¬ pleted State Wrestling meet. Roy Flynn does it again! — Mr. John Newberry, who announced all home girls’ and boys ' basketball games, recognizes P.C.’s leading scorer again.

Many students completed their personal puzzles by relaxing in their spare time. Movies, restau¬ rants and discos continued to be heavy attractions. A revival of the fifties came with the movie version of the Broadway play Grease, which sent Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta to superstardom. Others chose the adventure film Superman the Movie, and “hobbit’’ enthusiasm was reborn with the animated movie Lord of the Rings. Still others enjoyed the antics of comedy favorites Foul Play, Heaven Can Wait, Every Which Way but Loose and Animal House (which gave rise to the notorious Toga Party). New fast-food restaurants, which became popular night spots were opened in Pulaski and Fairlawn.
